"...The ever-continuing, hypocritical DEMONCRAP KENNEDY SLIME preferential treatment in Dizzy City and the East never ceases........... If this were YOU in Patrick Kennedy's "..politically protected situation..", you can bet that 'YOU' would still be begging some Dizzy City jail clerk to make your "..one phone call.."!!! .. All the while, all the slithering lieral Papparazzi weasels that could afford a disposable camera from WalMart would be snapping your picture and plastering your face on every tabloid rag in the country..!!! .

Every citizen should be angry with the lack of police field testing for sobriety. This will be Kennedy's second rehab stint in 5 months. The Kennedys are known to be drug and alcohol abusers. May 5, 2006 — The president of the Washington chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police has told ABC News that an officer smelled alcohol on the breath of Rep. Patrick Kennedy after he crashed into a barricade early Thursday morning. "He did seem to be intoxicated based on the odor of alcohol and his appearance," said Lou Cannon, who was not on the scene but described the assessment made by officers who were there. Kennedy has denied any drinking. He said he was "disoriented" after taking prescription sleep medication and an anti-nausea drug. At 2:45 a.m. Thursday morning, Kennedy was driving his Ford Mustang with the lights off, had a near miss with a Capitol police cruiser, and then slammed into a security barricade. Police said Kennedy exited his vehicle, was observed to be staggering, and identified himself as a member of Congress. He said he was late for a vote, though the last vote had been hours earlier. A higher-ranking Capitol police officer instructed the other officers not to administer a field sobriety test, Cannon said. Kennedy was then reportedly driven home by police.
