Kennedy crashes car (not in river)
 Rep. Patrick Kennedy crashed his car near the U.S. Capitol early Thursday. Like father, like son. He denied alcohol was a factor. "Oh God!! I am not my dad!!" "I was involved in a traffic accident last night at First and C Street SE, near the U.S. Capitol," Kennedy, who represents the New England state of Rhode Island, said in a written statement released by his office Thursday afternoon. "I will fully cooperate with the Capitol Police in whatever investigation they choose to undertake." "Please don't let the press get me" "I consumed no According to news reports, the single-car accident happened around 3 a.m. Call me skeptical, but I know that about 90% of single car crashes at 3am are drunk idiots going home from the bar. Capitol Police did not immediately return phone calls for comment. We know nothing! Kennedy, 38, spent time at a drug rehabilitation clinic before he went to Providence College in Rhode Island. He has openly discussed his personal mental health problems, including having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Early this year he spoke about having been in recovery "for depression, for alcoholism and substance abuse." Like father, like son. Kennedy is the son of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and his former wife, Joan Kennedy. Posted by: DarthVader 2006-05-04 |
