What I don't get is that if this was simply bad reaction to Ambien and Phenergan, why is he rushing off to rehab? People don't go to rehab for adverse drug reactions, they go to rehab for alcohol and drug abuse.
I know. It is an outrage. The poor sober peasant gets cited, and yes, RI will raise his rates to the roof.
Little Fruit of the Loom Pants Patrick walked away from that on Scot Free also.
Good Lord.....we all need to be medicated after seeing that.
I've seen Webb Hubbell with the same exact look on his face...
Yeah when Hillary said she was late
Demanded, expected, but did not ask.
Good question.
My guess (and it is a very good one) was that they chose Rehab because it is supposed elicit public and legal sympathy. Going to Rehab is supposed to make a statement saying you have a problem, and are trying to lick it.
Many, many addicts and alcoholics who do go to Rehab are sincere, and honest. I applaud them.
I don't give "Patches" the same kudos. He is trying to cover his arse, and it is patently obvious.
B.S.!
There are thousands of prescriptions written for Ambien and we fill hundreds of prescriptions a week for it. I don't know anyone who has 'sleep driven' because of it. These 'reporters' will believe anything an 'expert' tells them or they just make it up. They must think we are as stupid as they are.
I don't remember these 'reporters' making up such nonsense for Rush Limbaugh's problem. He was just 'sleep doctor shopping'. I bet he doesn't remember anything either. /sarcasm
Yet another example of pathetic police(yes I'm painting with a broad brush they all suck). It goes on everywhere, not just in DC. If you are slightly above the average citizen the police let you go, and sometimes even give you a lift home lol. The average person will continue to get harassed in traffic for increased tax revenue, all in the name of public safety. Meanwhile there are real criminals walking the streets unfettered.
The MSM is in full Arse Cover Mode (ACM) for the Kennedy family - again.
The front page on Yahoo News is the sympathetic headline:
Is There a Kennedy Curse? - "Along with a record of public service....."
Blah, blah, blah...
She was out viewing Chappaquiddick bridge, with Teddy. He told her how to read between the lines. I think she got the "message." LOL
I just had an inspired flash on how we might handle this. We'll do the same thing we do with gun control, punish the innocent. Let's make all high school students sit through at least 1 hour of class on the dangers of sleep driving on Ambien.
Old St. Pat can lead the charge for this when he gets out of rehab. I'm sure Katie Curic and the rest will be happy to go along.
Problem solved! :^)
Well, I had to go read up on Ambien. It is only to be used for 7 to 10 days without being closely monitored by a doctor. It is not to be used at all by anyone suffering from depression. Never to be mixed with alcohol. Does he now sue the doctor, because of his depression and admitted alcoholism? How many doc's prescribed? We'll never know.
Yes, to anyone that is unfortunate enough to be near them when they break the law again.
SkyPilot:
Where did you find that pic of Kennedy's crash report??
I looked all over!
Sort of like a late night swim from a car accident. That girl sure was smart to stay out of a Kennedy car.
Yep. That's your new Speaker in the fall if many in our camp aren't able to get their minds right and in proper perspective.
Oh, you mean that Mystery Woman in DC who reportedly won the lottery Thursday and just hasn't come forward yet, so she can talk with her financial planners first?
