Naming the sleep medication was, imho, a deliberate strategy. Plant the name Ambien and let the press jump all over the connection to the recent "sleep-driving" allegations and let the media craft the cover--which of course, they dutifully did.

If Lunesta had been the sleeping pill linked to sleep driving, he would have named Lunesta. Sonata? Yep, took that. Hell, if it were corned beef that had been linked to "sleep-driving", we would have learned he'd had seven Reubens at the Hawk& Dove. I don't think there was any Ambien. At least not that night.

Sure it was.
Then Ted remembered he had stock in pharmaceutical companies and told his son to shut up. ;~ )

If he didn't remember getting out of bed and anything after that, then he doesn't remember going to a bar. I'm still betting he had a passenger in the car.

It's 3:00 AM...What time do the bars close in DC?? Where's the surveillance tape and not just from the bar? There's all kinds of surveillance in this area.
