Kennedy - "I was sober"
No, not that one. This one:
WASHINGTON - Rep. Patrick Kennedy (news, bio, voting record) crashed his car near the Capitol early Thursday, and a police official said he appeared intoxicated. Kennedy said he had taken sleep medication and a prescription anti-nausea drug that can cause drowsiness.
Kennedy, D-R.I., addressed the issue after a spate of news reports. His initial statement said, "I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident."
He goes on to claim that prescription medications disoriented him, causing him to drive to the capitol complex at 2:45 AM believing he needed to vote.
I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, although if I were him I'd be asking my lawyer about going after the pharmacist who obviously didn't place the "causes drowsiness" warning label on the bottle of Ambien he filled.
Now if this were an "R", I wonder if the lefty blogs would be so generous, or would they slip into a trance chanting "culture of corruption" and/or saying things like "Are ALL these motherF****rs drunks?"
