Treat me like I'm black, sez Teddy's son |
Oh! Those crazy Kennedy boys. Doesn't sissy Patrick know that if he was
tossed in the bullpen that night, he'd have gotten 'white-boy' treatment? Of
course he knows, that's why he begged someone to pull some strings for him.
Like father, like son.
New York Daily News - http://www.nydailynews.com
Fresh from rehab, Rep. Patrick Kennedy said yesterday he wants to be
treated like an African-American from Washington if and when he gets charged
for crashing his car on Capitol Hill.
Denying that he was drunk and or that he asked the Capitol Police for
preferential treatment, Kennedy, a Rhode Island congressman, said he's
prepared "in terms of bookings, in terms of mug shots, fingerprints,
whatever they might have me do."
"It's what anyone else would have done to them if they were an
African-American in Anacostia," Kennedy said in a shaky voice, referring to
the mostly minority neighborhood in southeastern Washington.
Later, Kennedy fretted that "there are probably people who want to
throw the book at me a little more to prove that they're not treating me
special."
It's still not clear whether Kennedy will be called to account for
smashing his Ford Mustang into a barrier near the Capitol building at 2:45
a.m. on May 4. He was driving without headlights and nearly collided with a
police cruiser.
"The attorney general is still reviewing the events of that night,"
said Traci Hughes, a spokeswoman for the D.C. attorney general's office. "I
can assure you that if any charges are brought in this case, he will be
treated the same as anyone else in similar circumstances."
The son of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) was given a ride home after the
wreck by Capitol Police and charged with three minor traffic violations. But
he wasn't given a sobriety test, angering some police who complained he was
getting kid-glove treatment.
"If you are suspected of driving under the influence, you get
arrested," noted Officer Quintin Peterson of the Metropolitan Police
Department.
Kennedy, who has a history of substance abuse and depression, said
that "10 of the 12 police officers said they did not smell any alcohol on my
breath."
But Kennedy also said he should not have gotten behind the wheel after
taking Ambien, a popular sleeping aid prescribed to 26 million Americans
last year.
"It says on the directions: Do not operate heavy machinery under this
drug," he said. "So whether it's alcohol or drugs, any impaired driving is
wrong."
Shortly after the accident, Kennedy announced he was seeking treatment
for painkiller addiction because he could not remember crashing his car and
being driven home by police.

you continue to demonstrate your ignorance of usenet newsgroups,
scumball, and your disrespect for readers' ability to decide for
themselves what is and is not appropriate.
do you feel like a hypocrite criticizing others for doing what you
do? even osprey has legitimately commented on your hypocrisy.
your hypocrisy aside, what you might want to do to make yourself feel
like an even bigger ***** is take a random sample of posts you've
whined about and then search google for the number of posts with this
topic, demonstrating that readers know what is of interest to them
far better than you do.
