More bad news for the Kennedys: Kerry Kennedy, the ex-wife of Gov. Cuomo and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, was arrested Friday morning on drug-related charges.

Kennedy was nabbed by State Police after taking off following a collision with a tractor-trailer on I-684 in the town of North Castle in Westchester County.

State Police said they found Kennedy, 52, sitting behind the wheel of her disabled 2008 Lexus RS 350 on state Route 22. The car had sustained damage, including a flat tire.

An investigation is said to have found Kennedy had been operating the car while her ability was impaired by drugs.

Them Kennedy’s love their Ambien

Kennedy’s Crash Highlights Dangers of Ambien

May 5, 2006

After he smashed his Ford Mustang into a barrier near Capitol Hill early Thursday morning, Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy released a statement, saying that he had been disoriented by two prescription medications he had taken.

One of which was Ambien, a prescription sleep aid.

While Kennedy said he was “disoriented” in his statement, police officers described him as “intoxicated.”

How could using Ambien, the nation’s most widely used sleep aid, explain his behavior?

Kennedy’s situation echoes a growing trend, police and toxicologists say. In some states, Ambien has made it onto the lists of the Top 10 drugs found in impaired motorists.

One doctor questioned Kennedy’s decision to get behind the wheel with two prescription drugs in his system.

“To get in a car in the first place was dangerous,”

I think that Patches ran with the Ambien defense,when he crashed his car into a barricade at the Capitol Building. Hey, the press seemed satisfied then, why not dust it off and use it again?

The Kennedy Trustee works harder on keeping them out of jail than running the investments sense Teddy can’t give him stock tips anymore

Key omission: through bootlegging and insider trading

Joe Sr. was a real paragon of virtue.

Key omission: through bootlegging and insider trading That was your omission. I already mentioned in the reply you excerpted above that Joe Sr. was not a "honest or scrupulous" businessman. But you decided to excerpt my reply (like CBS) to make it seem like I said something else.

I wonder who her Godfather is. I only ask because her sister’s (Kathleen Kennedy Townsend) Godfather was Joe McCarthy, which I always found interesting. It turns out that Robert and John were both huge fans of McCarthy, Robert tried to get hired by him. (Seems that some democrats back then didn’t like communism, as hard as that is believe these days)

Hey, she probably had a cold and took some cold medicine. Let those who have never had a cold throw the first stone.

I read that Joe McCarthy also was Greta Van Sustern’s Godfather. McCarthy and Greta’s father were very close friends. I think Greta is a Scientologist now.

The above stated facts may no longer be true in the near future. “1984” was about 40 years ahead of time.

It appears the only Kennedy worth a darn was Joe Jr, who died training for a virtual suicide mission in WWII.

I guess JFK Jr was OK but he also had that lust for risk taking and living on the edge that killed so many of his family.

If she claimed Ambien, she should go to jail. You take Ambien to go to bed dr. Not drive like an asshat. Stupid is as stupid does.

Oh, America’s royal family can do no wrong; Camelot is just grand!
All she has to do is run for office anywhere in New England and she’ll get her fix for free...

Substance bans have been enriching criminals for several decades now. When will we learn?
