It's the Ambien....

Another Kennedy is in the news again. But why am I not surprised? This congressman son of a senator blames the drugs...but himself!

Pill popper Congressman Patrick, son of Senator Edward, crashed his convertible into a traffic barrier two blocks from the Capitol building in Washington and, according to officers, staggered as he got out of the car at 2:45 a.m. After the accident, Kennedy issued a statement saying he had consumed no alcohol before the accident, but had become disoriented after taking two prescribed medications — one for nausea and a second to help him sleep."

~HOW STUPID IS THAT?~

It further states, "The police did not test the congressman for drug or alcohol consumption, as they surely would have done if any ordinary citizen had crashed his or her vehicle into a traffic barrier. The sergeants who interfered with the officers on the scene effectively prevented the facts from coming out. They fixed the case so that the public will never know what Rep. Kennedy's condition was."

AHHHH - do i smell power?

And so he says "Last Tuesday, the Attending Physician of the United States Congress treated me for Gastroenteritis,” a stomach illness. According to Kennedy, the attending physician prescribed Phenergan, an anti-nausea medication, which in addition to treating gastroenteritis, “I now know [it] can cause drowsiness and sedation.” “Following the last series of votes Wednesday evening, I returned to my home on Capitol Hill and took the prescribed amount of Phenergan and Ambien, which was also prescribed by the Attending Physician some time ago and I occasionally take to fall asleep. Some time around 2:45am, I drove the few blocks to the Capitol Complex believing I needed to vote."

I've been taking Ambien for more than a year now, but no somnambulism effects on me yet.

But yeah! That's right! Even though he had drug problems in the 80's, he should really blame it on Ambien. It's the most logical explanation especially if you're up for relection. Most Americans are stupid anyway!!! They'd believe the Kennedys. How else would you explain that they get the votes. ~blah~

With so much power, no wonder they're cursed!
