Had not heard that, but in my DC days, Joe and Teddy Kennedy would close the Monocle Club about 2:00 most mornings, cross-eyed drunk.
Joe would roll (downhill) to Union Station and catch the next train to Wilmington. Delaware State Troopers would drive him home, and at noon the next day, he would arrive back in his DC office, hung over, and it would all start again.
His secret-service code name is “cobra”. LOL. The guy is a perv.
