Any guess on what he was drinking? I'm guessing Crown on the rocks or Chivas Regal.

"Kennedy spent time at a drug rehabilitation clinic before he went to Providence College. He has been open about mental health issues, including being diagnosed with bipolar disorder."

I truly feel compassion for this guy's problems, but wow we sure can be forgiving when it's a liberal dem, can't we? He has a mental disorder, past drug problem, now this - but just fine for Congress from a democrat district.

After a bar maid at his favorite watering hole said he was drinking, I see the media supposedly now has his bar tab.

Daddy is in seclusion with no comment, methinks the cover up trail might even lead up to Fat Sweaty Teddy's involvement.

If in fact he lied to the LEO he had consumed no alcohol, Martha Stewart went to prison for giving false statements.

Tried to get their hands on the mother's finances.

There is no low too low for a Kennedy.

Tragically, they never seem to learn that living evil lives is not a good thing.

Ambien and similar sleep drugs can cause unusual behavior, such as sleep voting, and can impair memory later. And it certainly can cause a person to be impaired while driving. But you know, impaired is impaired. He almost hit a Capitol Police cruiser then wrecked into a barricade and was clearly disoriented. That's impaired. It doesn't matter if it was Ambien or Jack Daniels.

In all fairness..there are many times when that's necessary. My point is that alcoholism runs on both sides of his family. And it IS a family disease.

"You will lose your job if you don't drive him home immediately. And NO SOBRIETY TEST or you're out of here. Just do it, no more questions"!

That's a fed crime- obstruction of justice.

Are you unaware that George W. Bush moved to Texas when he was two, and has lived most of his life there?

How is that a problem?

And his father lived in Midland for many years, and now lives in Houston.

Even if you succeed in saying GHW isn't a Texan, you can't do that with his son.

Nice try, though. Bash him whether it makes sense or not, eh?

So, did he take this Ambien before he left the bar?

After the way the media went after Rush Limbaugh, I want to see them go after this Kennedy just as rabidly. (I can dream.)

Waiting, waiting... **tapping foot**

At this point, I am certain to wear out my shoes.

have no memory of taking the wheel after taking the drug.

Perhaps, but he didn't claim he didn't remember taking the wheel.

If this was a Republican, Pelosi and Reid would already have had a press conference about it rubbing it in that this reflects on all Republicans. I wish our Congressmen weren't so gutless about it.

Doesn't matter if it was drugs, or not. He would still be driving under the influence, or driving while impeded. Maybe it's just a *DWK (Driving While Kennedy, or is it Drunk While Kennedy?) ANYWAY the DWK would be the worst of his offenses.

*props to whomever thought that one up! LOL

Exactly, ohio. George W Bush went to high school at Andover in MA. He graduated from Yale and did an MBA at Harvard. Other than that, he has always lived in Texas from the age of 2. Elementary and Jr. High in Midland. Texas Air National Guard. Oil "Bidness" in Midland. Ran for Congress (but lost) in West Texas and the Panhandle. Lived in Dallas as TX Rangers Baseball owner. Governor of TX. Barbara and Jenna both graduated from Austin High School. Owns ranch near Crawford and loves that land with every fiber of his being.
