WOW! That is the worst drunken chicken scratch I have ever seen!
Gotta keep up the "Family Tradition"!
when has a kennedy ever admitting being drunk????
He had to be drunk or high when he wrote that. Illiterate would work too!
"...he was going to a vote at 3 in the morning, and the police are ordered not to test him. Then he is whisked away."
I'm sure they took him straight to the capital, so he wouldn't miss his vote. ;)
BTTT
Tweaker.

The police need to be charged and somebody fired.
It is no accident Patches used this particular excuse. It is not lawful for any local law enforcement officer to detain a member of Congress while he is on his way to carry out his duties at the Capitol. You can bet your bottom dollar that Patches' lawyers told him to always use this explanation when stopped by the Police. He was just parroting it back, except he failed to realize it made no sense at 3:00 AM.
That's because he had no idea it was 3:00 a.m........
And the Klintoons....and this little Peter Paul thinks he's going to get somewhere with them.
He ment to say he had been tossed out of the club and was on his way to sleep of the drinks he did not have before driving without lights into a marked barrier at 2.45AM
The barrier he apparently hit blocks the street that leads to the garages under the House office buildings where members park. Kennedy must have been trying to get back there and had no idea how late it was and forgot that the barriers go up after hours. I'll bet he turned the corner at a fairly high rate of speed and just ran into the barrier. He must have been pretty wigged out to not have known how late it was or forgotten about the barriers.

"What vote happens in the middle of the night?"
The vote on which bar to go to next.
What was he voting on ..a pay raise for himself or a tax increase for everyone else or both?
Isn't this the same Kennedy that assaulted a security guard at an airport check point?
At 3 am, of course he was late for a vote! When was the last time the House stayed in session that late?
When interviewed by police, did Kennedy utter his famous line,
"Do you know who I am?" like he did the time he pushed a security guard at Raleigh-Durham Airport?
"But I wasn't drunk(hiccup, hiccup) honest. I'm a Congressman and we always tell the truth. Besides, I'm late for a vote. Oh, it's 3a.m. is it. Well, my daddy said if I ever get caught driving drunk, just tell the police you're late for a vote. Works every time"...
