Re: The latest non driving Kennedy

On at least 1 level, yeah, he's probably an ***. Virtually
noone in his rank and political position isn't.

On at least 1 level, yeah, the fix was in, no doubt about it.
For po' me, it pales a bunch compared to the contrast
between, say, Richard Paey and Rush Limberger. Not to
even mention the insanities in the middle east.

On the other hand and on another level, he's just another
silver-spoon guy that's evidently from a "substance abuse"
family who's to various extents out-of-control.

Think about it. Nobody was hurt to speak of. Suppose it
had been average Joe with some $ in the bank and/or credit.
He mighta drawn a DUI or somesuch, but he'd just get a lawyer,
cut a deal, and maybe learn a lesson. I doubt if this
would've rated a 2 square-inch column on page 47 of the
local newspaper.

Who cares if some Kennedy got messed up and crunched his
car-car??

I suspect we all spend much, much, much, much too much
time listening to the mass-media (whose credibility is,
at best, microscopic).

Just one feller's take ...

Cheers,

Hey folks,

I wanted to find out how this story is playing out throughout the rest of
the country. If you don't know to what I refer, one of the Kennedy Klan
wrecked his car the other night at about 2 am. He drove in to one of those
concrete barriers they have so no one can park a bomb at a federal building.
They though he was drunk, but it was a case of being under the influence of
Rx medications, specifically Ambien which is a sleep aid, and Phenergan
which is a medication for nausea.
Since I'm in D.C., this has been the lead story on the news for the past 3
days or so. Now this Kennedy *** reads a public statement, in which he
says he plans to get treatment for addiction to... Rx PAIN DRUGS !! WTF??
None of the drugs he claimed made him a moron-non driving-f**k were pain
meds. Is it just fashionable to be hooked on pain prescriptions?
He's going to get mileage on this like you aren't going to believe. Six
weeks from now, when he's out of rehab, this stupid son of a bitch is going
to come down on prescription pain medications, the same way his uncle RFK
went after the mob and Jimmy Hoffa. His last name carries a lot of weight
around this town, for a moron.
So has anyone else heard about this thing and what do you think?

Have a painless weekend, everybody--og
