Mystery woman tried to stop him, report says

U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy was with a woman at his Capitol Hill home Wednesday night before he smashed his Mustang convertible into a barricade near a House office building, according to a published report.
“She tried to dissuade me” from leaving the house, he told The Providence Journal. “And she wishes she had done a better job dissuading me.”
The unmarried lawmaker declined to give the woman’s name and says he only knows she tried to stop him because she has since told him so.
Kennedy, 38, spoke to the paper before heading to Minnesota for addiction treatment at the prestigious Mayo Clinic.
In his latest account of what happened early Thursday, the son of U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said he took the stomach medication Phenergan earlier in the night during a House session. But he said he does not recall taking the sleep aid Ambien - even though he assumes he must have.
Kennedy has said since Thursday night that a cocktail of the prescriptions put him into a stupor he can’t recall.
It was “scary,” he said.
Capitol police officers stopped Kennedy after he hit the barricade and drove him home without administering field sobriety tests.
The next step for Kennedy, he said, is, “I’ve got to do total abstinence, period. From now on, obviously, I’m a very public face with addiction and alcoholism written on my head.”

Is Patrick married? No, and there's always been entirely uncorroborated rumor that he ain't the marrying kind. If you know what I mean.
Well, maybe in Massachusetts.

Capitol police officers stopped Kennedy after he hit the barricade and drove him home without administering field sobriety tests. What was Ted Kennedy's angry quote about there being one standard for the elite, and another for the ordinary citizen?

“I’ve got to do total abstinence, period. From now on, obviously, I’m a very public face with addiction and alcoholism written on my head.” What do alcoholism and addiction have to do with a bad mix of legal prescriptions?
One of these stories is a lie.
