| Kerry Kennedy flees accident |
| 2012-07-14 |
| To parrot James Reston's famous lead written the day after the Chappaquiddick incident: Tragedy has against struck the Kennedy family. From TFA: Gov. Andrew Cuomo's ex-wife, Kerry Kennedy, was arrested Friday for driving while impaired by drugs after she accidentally struck a tractor-trailer and fled, police said. In the finest Kennedy tradition Kennedy is the seventh of 11 children of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. That whole branch of the family just has problems... State police said she was found Friday morning behind the wheel of her disabled vehicle on the side of a road in Westchester, just north of New York City. And human rights activist and a leader of Amnesty International. We get to hear her prattle on about human rights; this is what they do... Authorities say 911 callers reported the car was driving erratically on Interstate 684 and collided with a tractor-trailer in the town of North Castle. The car was damaged and had a flat tire, police said. Hard to keep those cars from "driving erratically". It is almost as if Ms Kennedy is not taking responsibility. That can't be it, can it? A spokesman for Kennedy, who lives in nearby Bedford, denied that she was driving under the influence of drugs. Booze and drugs? A Kennedy? Pshaw! "Kerry Kennedy voluntarily took breathalyzer, blood and urine tests -- all of which showed no drugs or alcohol whatsoever in her system," spokesman Ken Sunshine said in an emailed statement. "The charges were filed before the test results were available." Police said Kennedy was issued traffic tickets that must be returned to the town of North Castle Court on Tuesday. Her mouthpiece will be there to be sure... |

| #4 the combustion engine is clearly to blame... Most likely George W. also was clearly to blame. |

| #1 Putting on my Eco hat, whether it be on the land, at sea, or in the air, the combustion engine is clearly to blame. |
