#2 He could be telling the exact truth, note he did NOT say he was not intoxicated, only that he had drunk no alcohol.

He could well be blasted on any number of substances and still be telling the exact truth, That's exactly the kind of twisted-truth "Statements" that politicians are famous for.

Note he was NOT given any kind of sobriety test (Or if he was, It's very pointedly not mentioned), that means that any tests made later cannot be used as evidence.

(Plan A, get away from the Cops, drink in the presence of witnesses, get picked up again, and you just bought yourself a "get out of jail free card) I remember a bit of his father's first reports after Chappaquiddic (SP?), his lawyer immediately sat him down and fed him three or so stiff drinks in his (The Lawyers) presence, then called the cops.

#3 Ah, the Kennedy curse. As long as the cops continue to look the other way, the curse will remain. But the democrat culture of corruption will never change. They are doomed by who they are.

#4 Ah, an update...

WASHINGTON - Rep. Patrick Kennedy crashed his car near the Capitol early Thursday, and a police official said he appeared intoxicated. Kennedy said he had taken sleep medication and a prescription anti-nausea drug that can cause drowsiness. Kennedy, D-R.I., addressed the issue after a spate of news reports. His initial statement said: "I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident."'
Later, however, he issued a longer statement saying the attending physician for Congress had prescribed Phenergan on Tuesday to treat Kennedy's gastroenteritis.
Kennedy said he returned to his Capitol Hill home on Wednesday evening after a final series of votes in Congress and took "prescribed" amounts of Phenergan and Ambien, another prescribed drug that he occasionally takes to fall asleep.
"Some time around 2:45 a.m., I drove the few blocks to the Capitol Complex believing I needed to vote," his second statement said. "Apparently, I was disoriented from the medication."

Yeah. The...medication! That's the ticket!

#6 Yep, that's what I do to, take a shit load of sleep medication then get behind the wheel at zero dark thirty - what a douche bag. The house has votes at 0245?

#7 Hey—the Tidal Basin is a mile west. That's where you're supposed to crash your car in DC! Don't you have any respect for your elders?
