Continuing adventures of Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy By Herald staff Friday, May 5, 2006
March 26, 2000:
A videotape captures Kennedy pushing a 58-year-old airport security guard backward and bumping the metal detector archway at Los Angeles International Airport. The catalyst apparently was that his luggage was too big for carry-on and he was disturbed the guard did not recognize him.
Summer 2000:
The Coast Guard removes a former Hub woman from a yacht for her safety after she and Kennedy had some drinks and a tiff. Kennedy had rented the yacht and trashed it, causing $28,000 in damage.
July 2001:
Kennedy makes remarks to the Pawtucket Times about U.S. Rep. Gary Condit of California. Kennedy says he is guilty of cheating on his wife and in the mysterious disappearance of the Washington intern he was having an affair with.
Wednesday, April 12, 2006:
While watching a demonstration of Impact Gel, a shock-absorbing material, Kennedy takes one to the face when a hammer head flies off the handle and hits him in the mouth. He gets six stitches to his bottom lip at Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket and cancels several public appearances.
Saturday, April 15, 2006:
Kennedy tries to turn into a CVS parking lot in Portsmouth, R.I.,, but turns into the vehicle in front of him instead.
Thursday, May 4, 2006:
Kennedy crashes in D.C.
According to the dispataching Petty Officer the party was rude and lewd to the rescue party.
The next day that Petty Officer was transfered, probably to Alaska.
So he was on the straight and narrow for nearly 5 years there... until that little hammer did greater damage than expected.
Every time I hear that the Kennedy's are Americans 'best and brightest' or 'American Royaly' something like this happens. ANyone else in DC, including Cynthia 'Punch' McKinney, would have their keister in the drunk tank at the jail. Maybe the DC cops have learned over the years it is less messy just to do the 'catch and release' thing with the Kennedys.
*Snicker*
BTTT
"Hi, I'm Patrick Kennedy. I am a congresscritter from Rhode Island. I am very important. Yeah, I know, I got stopped after I crashed my car. Oh sure, they say I was drunk, But it's all good. You see, if I am on my way to my very important job of casting votes, it's ok for me to break the laws that I pass that y'all would get arrested for if YOU get caught. For instance, if you are driving while intoxicated - YOU get arrested! Or, if you are driving while under the influence of a prescription medication - YOU get arrested! I'm exempt because I'm important. You're not. Deal with it!"
When the "sleazy" family gets out of our face, with their vision for America.
Imagine that. A Kennedy getting hammered.
"No 9hic) alco (hic) hol was (hic) involved." (Staggers off.)

The apple doesn't fall far from teh tree, does it?
Look, the guy has a substance abuse problem. So did Rush.
I wonder about those who wallow in someone else's misery.
Is this the DUmp?
"Cheating on one's wife" should be an implicit data point for anyone saying "I do" to any Kennedy.
This guy's a real piece-of-[work]
Right, and Ted has been known to "occasionally" imbibe.
Which of the two would you rather put life-altering trust in?
Is this the same Patrick Kennedy who recently told a Massachusetts Probate Court judge that he should be given control of his mother's finances because of *her* love of booze?
