Them Kennedy’s love their Ambien
Kennedy’s Crash Highlights Dangers of Ambien
May 5, 2006
After he smashed his Ford Mustang into a barrier near Capitol Hill early Thursday morning, Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy released a statement, saying that he had been disoriented by two prescription medications he had taken.
One of which was Ambien, a prescription sleep aid.
While Kennedy said he was “disoriented” in his statement, police officers described him as “intoxicated.”
How could using Ambien, the nation’s most widely used sleep aid, explain his behavior?
Kennedy’s situation echoes a growing trend, police and toxicologists say. In some states, Ambien has made it onto the lists of the Top 10 drugs found in impaired motorists.
One doctor questioned Kennedy’s decision to get behind the wheel with two prescription drugs in his system.
“To get in a car in the first place was dangerous,”

A neckbrace? And Teddy was standing next to him? No shame, absolutely no shame in that family.
The Kennedy Trustee works harder on keeping them out of jail than running the investments sense Teddy can’t give him stock tips anymore
Key omission: through bootlegging and insider trading
Joe Sr. was a real paragon of virtue.
How many more generations to go before they clear the “sins of the father” curse?
I wonder who her Godfather is. I only ask because her sister’s (Kathleen Kennedy Townsend) Godfather was Joe McCarthy, which I always found interesting. It turns out that Robert and John were both huge fans of McCarthy, Robert tried to get hired by him. (Seems that some democrats back then didn’t like communism, as hard as that is believe these days)
Hey, she probably had a cold and took some cold medicine. Let those who have never had a cold throw the first stone.
I read that Joe McCarthy also was Greta Van Sustern’s Godfather. McCarthy and Greta’s father were very close friends. I think Greta is a Scientologist now.
No kidding. How ironic.
The above stated facts may no longer be true in the near future. “1984” was about 40 years ahead of time.
Deuteronomy 5:9 “Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,”
It appears the only Kennedy worth a darn was Joe Jr, who died training for a virtual suicide mission in WWII.
I guess JFK Jr was OK but he also had that lust for risk taking and living on the edge that killed so many of his family.
If she claimed Ambien, she should go to jail. You take Ambien to go to bed dr. Not drive like an asshat. Stupid is as stupid does.
In the old days this never would have got out.
Oh, America’s royal family can do no wrong; Camelot is just grand!
All she has to do is run for office anywhere in New England and she’ll get her fix for free...
Substance bans have been enriching criminals for several decades now. When will we learn?
