Kerry Kennedy invokes dad’s death in drugged-driving defense
NY Post ^ | 2/27/14 | Andrea Peyser

She’s a mom, a human-rights leader — oh, and another fatherless Kennedy.

Testifying in her own defense at her drugged driving trial Wednesday, Kerry Kennedy wasted little time before playing the “Daddy” card.

“Daddy was the attorney general during the civil rights movement and then a senator,” the 54-year-old testified, supposedly explaining why she grew up in Virginia, but coyly invoking the memory of her slain father, Sen Robert F. Kennedy.

Yeah, Howie Carr said yesterday that “she waved the bloody shirt” in the courtroom.

Despicable nest of vipers.

I thought she pled guilty to some lesser offense to avoid the trial. What happened?

I’d call her another waste of life named Kennedy but she’s worse than that — she’s dangerous and may end up killing someone when she gets off easy from this because of who she is.

Kennedy claimed that after 10 years of taking Ambien, she had no idea how fast the drug makes her drowsy.

Not possible, in my opinion, unless over the ten-year period she's always taken Ambien and gone directly to bed.

Who was the worthless no name driver who dared to drive the truck that Princess Kennedy hit?

The Kennedy genes are not kind to the females of the species.

“human rights leader”? All the Kennedy’s do is hang out at the compound, booze and drug it up and give themselves BS titles.

The nanny state of MA should step in and pass a law banning Ambien for anyone with Kennedy genes. It seems every time one of them is arrested, they use Ambien as their excuse.

This sideshow is so ridiculous. I mean she will get a fine and probably have to do community service at most even if found guilty. Maybe have to do a treatment center. What the heck does she think is going to happen. She mentioned her reputation. I doubt anybody will change their minds about her because of this. They either find her interesting or they don’t like her. I don’t understand this one bit.
