KENNEDY CAR CRASH COVER-UP?

Thu May 04 2006 17:12:05 ET

 

Police labor union officials asked acting Chief Christopher McGaffin this afternoon to allow a Capitol Police officer to complete his investigation into an early-morning car crash involving Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), son of Sen. Ted Kennedy.

 

ROLL CALL reports: According to a letter sent by Officer Greg Baird, acting chairman of the USCP FOP, the wreck took place at approximately 2:45 a.m. Thursday when Kennedy's car, operating with its running lights turned off, narrowly missed colliding with a Capitol Police cruiser and smashed into a security barricade at First and C streets Southeast.

 

“The driver exited the vehicle and he was observed to be staggering,” Baird’s letter states. Officers approached the driver, who “declared to them he was a Congressman and was late to a vote. The House had adjourned nearly three hours before this incident. It was Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy from Rhode Island.”

 

Baird wrote that Capitol Police Patrol Division units, who are trained in driving under the influence cases, were not allowed to perform basic field sobriety tests on the Congressman. Instead, two sergeants, who also responded to the accident, proceeded to confer with the Capitol Police watch commander on duty and then “ordered all of the Patrol Division Units to leave the scene and that they were taking over.”

 

A source tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "It was apparent that the driver was intoxicated (stumbling) and claimed he was in a hurry to make a vote.

 

"When it became apparent who it was, instead of processing a normal DWI, the watch commander had the Patrol units clear the scene. The commander allowed other building officials drive Kennedy home."

 

This morning's incident comes just over two weeks after Kennedy was involved in a car accident in Rhode Island.

 

"I was involved in a traffic accident last night at First and C Street SE near the U.S. Capitol," Kennedy said in a written statement released by his office. "I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident. I will fully cooperate with the Capitol Police in whatever investigation they choose to undertake."

I think it's great that the patrolmen raised a flag to not let him get away with it (well, he did... but you know what I mean). I hope they raise a stink and the guys that swooped in to save his ass get reprimanded somehow to send a message that politicians should NOT be given preferential treatment.

[Ravens 03 0]

Reports already have him at a bar earlier that night consuming some drinks.

 

So much for the truth 'Little Teddy'.

 

 

I'm happy he didn't kill anybody, driving 3AM w/o lights, and disoriented.

 

What an ass!

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

Not good for Kennedy Although he did say he had taken some kind of allergy pill or something like that, that would lead to his condition. Not good either way.

 

But aside from that, interesting how the Capitol Police just ushered him away from the area.

they should fire the watch commander that ordered them to take Kennedy home and not do a field sobriety test

Why is it that politicians, repub and dem, come off as the most hypocritical, disrespectful, arrogant, and despicable of all Americans?

He can then go get a job with the Kennedy's in their compound on the beach.

With a name like 'Patrick Kennedy', I don't think he's allowed to be sober.

Another article has him reported to be BiPolar. What a gem.

Sure he's bipolar. Whiskey and Polar club soda, Bacardi and Polar cola.

[What is the deal? 1]

he checked into rehab

[torridjoe 48]

anything to take the attention off a burgeoning Republican bribes-and-prostitution scandal, eh?

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Kennedy now claims he is a pill head.

 

I wonder where all the libs are that jumped all over Rush for being a pill head. I seem to recall people wanting him in jail.

[The Total Package 0]

Kennedy should be in jail too. The whole family is an embarrassment.

You post in a thread about yet another drunk Kennedy, ignore Kennedy, bring up the Republicans, and cry about this thread trying to divert attention from something else.

 

Doing exactly what you accuse others of doing in a single sentence.............only Turbin.

because this is really a stupid story, considering as a nation our two top leaders are multiple losers when it comes to driving drunk. It's far more important to talk about Congressional bribery (and far more fun to talk about Congressional hooker parties).

 

As for comparisons to Rush, I never heard Patrick Kennedy say anything about how harshly drug users should be treated...unlike Limbaugh the hypocrite.

its funny that none of the usual whiners find outrage in this, if it was a republican there would be 5 threads on the subject and a couple of spin offs. pathetic.

Why don't we compare how the libs on this board wanted Rush in jail to how the libs are silent on Pill-Popping Kennedy......and your lame attempt to defend him by once again changing the subject to bashing Bush/Cheney.

 

Your act is old.

I did compare it. Kennedy's not a pathetic hypocrite on the subject, Rush is.

Nah, Kennedy is just a pill-head who drove around without his lights, almost killed a Capital Police Officer, crashed into a wall, stumbled out of his car reeking of alcohol, and was saved by higher-ups just like Daddy.

 

But hey, in your world there is nothing wrong with all that because he is a dem.

are you reading from some ultra-ultra speculative source that takes Drudge's record for being wrong and does him one better?

 

Link to him nearly killing anyone, much less a police officer?

Link to him reeking of alcohol?

Link to the "higher-up" who saved him?

 

If you get to decide Kennedy was drunk, do we also conclude Cheney was drunk when he shot the guy?

 

I never said there was nothing wrong; I said he wasn't a pathetic hypocrite like Rush.

Take your pick. These are just a few.

Kinda funny how he is in rehab for being addicted to pain killers when the drugs he claimed he was popping were not pain killers. Damn, he can't even get that story straight.

One more for Turbin, just because I like the snide comments contained therein.

Sticking with actual news sources (Globe, Hill, ABC), there's one reference to the possible smelll of alcohol--unconfirmed--and that's it. Nothing about nearly killing anyone or higher ups saving him.

I guess you missed the reports of him almost taking out a Capital Police car just before he wrecked, and the watch commander (who has already been re-assigned) who told the officers on the scene to leave so Kennedy could be driven home.

 

Man, first you want to try to convince us Air Amerika is kicking ass and now this. Give it up Turbin.

when did a car become a human? When did not hitting something become hitting something?

 

when did someone above the rank of patrolman become a "higher-up?" Is that the way you refer to your crew chief at Hardees?

Who said anything about a car being human? That car had an officer in it. Surely you are aware of innocent people in a car being killed by drunk drivers.

 

What a dope you are. By definition a Watch Commander is a "higher-up" to a patrolman.

 

C'mon, give me something to work with. This is lame.

Oh, don't forget the waitress who served Kennedy drinks earlier in the night.

 

 

But I'm sure you know more about his alcohol consumption that night than the person bringing him his drinks.

Are you sure he didn't drive into the reflecting pool and some woman drowned?

Torrid, your myopic defense of things like this is beneath you. He did a bad thing. Doesn't make you or your party or your beliefs bad (although if the shoe were on the other foot...). Do you really feel good defending this?
