Audacity of Truth
Was it prescription drugs or was he drinking?
The Boston Herald reports today that witnesses told the Capitol police that Rep. Patrick Kennedy, who recently checked into a rehab center after blaming an early morning Capitol Hill accident on his use of prescription drugs, was seen drinking that night at a bar called the Hawk and Dove:
Capitol police in Washington, D.C., investigating U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy’s early-morning car wreck have been told by witnesses that the Rhode Island congressman was at a Capitol Hill bar before the crash, the Herald has learned.
A source close to the probe said witnesses have told detectives that Kennedy was at the Hawk & Dove before he slammed his Ford Mustang into a security barrier near the U.S. Capitol. The source added that cops are continuing to seek evidence to confirm that Kennedy was at the watering hole.
The Herald reported last week that a Hawk & Dove hostess said the 38-year-old pol is a frequent customer and was drinking in the bar before the May 4 crash. Kennedy has denied he was drinking, blaming the accident on a cocktail of prescription painkillers and sleeping pills. He has since checked into a Minnesota rehab.

The crash sparked a furor within the Capitol Police Department after angry patrol officers said higher-ranking cops blocked them from giving Kennedy a sobriety test. Police union head Lou Cannon said two watch commanders on duty the night of the crash have been transferred.
A police report on the 2:45 a.m. crash cited alcohol as a factor, describing Kennedy as slurring his speech, being “unsure” on his feet and having red and watery eyes.
It’s looking more and more like Rep. Kennedy received favorable treatment from the Capitol police department. I was willing to have some sympathy for the guy had if this had to do with prescription drugs, but if it turns out that he was driving drunk, he’s going to have a lot of explaining to do – not to me, but his constituency … and Congress.

ST, his constituency couldn’t care less, he’s a Kennedy, and that’s all their addled, liberal icon worshiping minds can understand.
Those of us not blinded by the Kennedy/Camelot mystique, can see that, truly, he is indeed a Kennedy, with all the negative baggage that entails.
Some look at the Kennedy clan and see glamor, more realistic people look at the Kennedy clan and see abuses of power, drunks, holier than thou attitudes, and a family who believes the world owes them positions of power just because they had the genetic accident to be related to JFK.
Severian is right. Kennedy constituents never ask what the heck a Kennedy is doing. They simply genuflect before the Hand that feeds them.
Who in Congress is going to put themselves through the MSM gristmill for, “taking cheap shots at that poor young man who is struggling so bravely …” yada, yada, yada.
He’s a Democrat so no one will charge him with his crimes. Now, if were a Republican, we’d already have hints of his pedophilia and murder conpiracies, wouldn’t we?
Could not agree with Severian and Benning more — if ONLY the members of this family were held accountable for their actions.
As my dad once said about Ted Kennedy, “How could any Massachusetts constituent look at that man and say, ‘Yep, that’s my senator. I’m so proud to have voted for him!’”
It boggles the mind.
- Whats interesting is the length of time the Capital police seem to be taking in “investigating” his where abouts that evening, since the bar in question is only 6 blocks from the Capital area. Guess someone needs to give them the address and the name of the waitress who waited on him that evening and came forward the same day this happened. the authorities just can’t be too careful when it comes to a Kennedy. You and me would have been sitting in a cell on the spot. Best justice money can buy. One question I’m not hearing asked is who tipped the Supervisors so they could rush over and stop justice in its tracks?

Bang, that’s rhetorical right?
Who’s posted on the tax rolls as owner/operator? I’d bet several Police officials know very well.
- Actually they didn’t even have to drive over there and look for her, she went to them. They’ve had all the info since probably day 2. This is called the “period of letting the dust settle and the whole issue fall off the radar”. Hear anything about the McKinney “investigation” lately. The Grand grand jury seems to have gone MIA. In both cases its the old game of slow rolling, hoping it will all fade from public view and blow over. Everyone knows whats going on, but no one wants to call them out on it. Washington as a group is nothing if not good at circling the wagons.
- Incidently, speaking of McKinney, she continues to act in completely bizaar ways. According to a brief report on FOX, she decided for reasons no one can figure out, to attach a series of 28 autopsy photographs, extremely grizilly and graphic in nature, of some woman who died under mysterious circustances in another country, to some Congressional bill this week. A few of the Representatives said they can’t figure out what in the world she did that for. I think shes either on drugs, or her Liberal craziness has finally unhinged her completely. Even though she gets re-elected because shes from a gerimanded small district in Atlanta, most people think this term will be her last harrah.
