No, really, it was a sleeping pill...Follow

#1 May 05 2006 at 9:18 AM Rating: Good
At least Pat Kennedy had the good sense to get Capital Police to skip the Blood, Breath or Urine question. Now no one can really dispute the whole "I didn't have a single drink. It was a prescription sleeping pill." statement.

What's the general thought here? Is is ok for him to drive smashed as long as it was a prescription he was on or should he still get a DWI?

On the upside, the Kennedy car wreck fallout is improving. PK didn't kill a girl.

I don't think they'll ever know what it was, since it sounds like he was driven away from the scene and not given a blood test.

I just heard about this on the radio. they said he claimed that he mixed 2 prescriptions(one reportedly was ambien) and that’s what happened.

I still don’t really care, I still think the cops should have done something to him weather it was drinking or pill mixing. No average joe could have swung that and go away with it truth or not.

If he admits he was under the influence of a sleeping pill, though, shouldn't that be enough to convict him? He was driving smashed, had an accident and told officers he was on a "sleeping aid".

More over, what should happen to the Capital Police? The traffic cops called the bosses, and the bosses told them to leave because they were sending in the big boys. Cover up on the people's dime?

It wasnt even skipping the test. From what I heard on the radio yesterday, the staties came to do their job, but were shooed away and obliged. I dont get how Massachusetts folks can continue to keep them in the govt. They had one great political guy come out of their tree and people still think they're the bees knees

It's one thing to make an error in judgement when you're hopped up on meds, but now that he's sober he should have just come out and asked to be treated like a regular joe.

While there have been reports of people doing strange things like "Getting their Freak On" and waking up in strange places, while using sleep aids such as Ambient. I'm having a hard time understanding why the police skipped the field sobriety tests.

It's 3a.m., you would think that it would be standard procedure to check to see if the person in a traffic accident has had one too many Barley Sandwiches?

But then again he is a Kennedy and this is the town where the Mayor was convicted of smoking "crack".

The only thoughts that popped into my head were:

"Shock: a Kennedy drinking."

and

"Wow, he didn't die!"

I would think so. Its not exactly wise to take a sedative and drive. A lot of medication have warnings not to do so.

Its sad and its true. You can't get a Washington D.C. DA to charge a congresswoman who struck a police officer, there's no way in hell you'll get them to charge a Kennedy, who is the son of the man who's most memorable legacy will be killing a date, with a traffic violation.

His last name doesn't stop him having personal integrity. It's a choice he made to try to deflect it instead of just coming out and saying "Yeah, I fu[Black][/Black]cked up." It's because he's a Kennedy that he could have spun it this way and actually have become the poster child for the issue, parlayed it into some after-school ads, passed legislation against it, played martyr, etc.

Oh well.

sadly, thats not their way. The Kennedy's feel that they are far above regualr Joes and the common Law. They are gods among themselves and they show this by doing what they do best; breaking the law and refusing to take any responsibility. Again, I still dont understand how people from Mass can continue to put them into the govt, after all they have done over the past few decades

He claims to have been disoriented. He apparently believed he was on his way to cast a vote (at 3am) at the time of the crash.

Has anyone read Naked Pictures of Famous People by Jon Stewart?

The first chapter written as the journal of a college friend of JFK spending a weekend at the Kennedy estate in 1935.

Excerpt:
Quote:
APRIL 10

Whatta day!! Where to start?! Woken up at 6:30 am by the maid, a beautiful woman who I swear looks just like Fay Wray but insisted I refer to her as "Number 3." Thought I was the first one up but it turns out I'd already missed the boat race as well as a bakeoff, boxing match and aeronautics seminar given by none other than Lindy himself. This crowd gets things done. Jack took one glance at my late arrival and keenly dubbed me "one lazy cocksucker." Hearing the rib, Mr. K parried that he "could make a million dollars in the time it took me to take a shit!!" Algonquin, table for two, please!!

One fly in today's whirlwind oinment: Apparently two Kennedy boys drowned during the sailing race: Phil, twelve, and Boris, eight. But Mrs. K gave birth while attending the morning church services so everyone's considering the day a wash.

the word "Kennedy" derives from old Gaelic as "Head of the Tribe".

DWI = Driving Without Insurance
DUI = Driving Under the Influence


Did he forget his insurance card and that’s what your all bit[red][/red]ching about? The man was intoxicated! Lets focus on what the REAL issue is here.

By Illinois law that what they mean, atleast.

huh, I stand corrected then.

Wierd, never hear that applied to DWI.
DUI always covered both drinking and drugs.
DWI was insurance related BS here.
