Too late - Kennedy will never be charged now. They let him off, he cooked up a story about addiction to prescription drugs, and another Kennedy escapes justice - again.

I hope they fire those cops. Ridiculous.

"significant administrative and personnel corrective action has been taken."

What is it? A week of paid leave and a "stern talkin' to"?

[ansel12]

For a cover-up at this level, prison is called for.

[pankot]

What about the Congressional Investigation of this pos?

SCOTT FREE!

Agreed,....no way now to prove he had been drinking..other than his bar tab...but, then he could say he was buying drinks for othe patrons...

Fox is reporting that a woman was with him that night who tried to get him to not leave the house -- and that she can back up his story that he was not drinking.

Um, where was she Thursday?

You must have beat me by seconds in posting this. As I said on the thread that I posted...It is sad that these guys get off on internal discipline. Only The police and government types get away with that. The rest of us would be charged with a crime and have to go to court. This guy should too.

Paid vacation no doubt. WOW....that will show him!

Experts say Ambien has been linked to so-called sleep driving — where users are not even aware they are behind the wheel.

Are these "experts" Democrats by any chance?

Fox is reporting that Kennedy had a mystery woman in his car....

"Kennedy has said that he did not ask for special treatment"

Every time I've seen this statement in an article I want to scream. These reporters are all such biased DOLTs, they don't ask the most obvious question. Patsy Kennedy also claims he remembers nothing of the episode, not even driving his car. Why don't any of the MSM pick up on this glaring, staggering contradiction??? He wants it both ways: (1) assure the public that he never asked for any special treatment, and (2) pretend it was some kind of conflict of medications producing such a blackout that he has no memories.

So which is it Patsy, are you lying when you say you don't remember anything at all or are you lying when you assert that you know (i.e., REMEMBER) that you did not ask for any special treatment???

[Lady Jag]

Officer's gonna get it worse than Kennedy.   Privilege must be something, huh?   You can and do abuse everything, and the little people let you off scot free.

Bingo! We have a winner!

"...but had taken the sleeping pill Ambien..."

Something he always does prior to heading up to Capitol hill for a vote.

[gunnedah]

Kennedy has said that he did not ask for special treatment.
B/S what was the statement I am on the way to vote for? There are only three things he could be arrested for if indeed he were on the way to vote and DUI is not one of them.

. . . consideration was given a member of Congress that would not be afforded a normal citizen on the street.

Ya think? If they don't have to pay the taxes they impose upon the rest of us I don't see why they'd have to be subject to DWI laws, too.

[Pukin Dog]

John Edwards was right when he said there are "two Americas", because there are.

Every now and then, we catch a glimpse of the other one, the one where responsibility is a joke, and consequences don't exist for certain behaviors that would be disastrous for persons in the "other America".

America has a ruling class. We don't like to admit it, but we have aristocracy in this country just like all the other ones do, because we fail to hold politicians accountable through the use of term limits and other measures that would keep them in line.

We will soon forget this incident, just like all the others, including PK's murdering father, because they keep us busy dealing with our own issues like filling our gas tanks.

You saw it all in full focus this week; Patrick Kennedy tells a bold-faced lie, CNN was ready and willing to back him up with a supporting story, as was the print media, now we have a girl hired to say she was with Kennedy, and the bar tab from the place Kennedy was drinking as disappeared, as well as the memories of the people who saw him there.

All it took was a few dollars to the right people, and the story goes away. This is America. Still the greatest, but sometimes, not so great.

There are successful prosecutions without chemical evidence - particularly when you go on TV and admit you were on drugs and then witnesses turn up that you were drinking.

His Mustang was wrapped around that slab of concrete pretty good. Now here's some unanswered questions: Was a tow truck called? When did it arrive? Did Kennedy wait around for the tow truck or was he immediately whisked away by the cops leaving the Mustang where it was? Did the cops watch the smashed car until it was towed away? Did a cop sign for it?

Did the tow truck operator talk to Kennedy? Did he see a woman with Kennedy? Did the cops see a woman with Kennedy? Did a cop drive a woman home separately? Or did a cop drive them both back to Kennedy's digs?

What's the time line on all this?

I wonder if the police brass are going to alter cop reports with all these details in them so that not only is Patches' fanny protected but also theirs.
