Ambien Alert: Looks Like Patrick Kennedy Has Fallen Off the Wagon Again

Watch CBS News Videos Online

Ace of Spades headline:

Patrick Kennedy Vows to “Destroy” Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Undertaker in Wrestlemania 47

I’ll try to get a partial transcript of Kennedy’s demented gibberish, just as soon as I can stop laughing. This could take a while . . .

UPDATE: Via CBS:

“If anybody wants to know where cynicism is, cynicism is that there’s one, two press people in this galllery. We’re talking about Eric Massa 24-7 on the TV, we’re talking about war and peace, $3 billion, 1,000 lives and no press? No press. You want to know why the American public is fit? They’re fit because they’re not seeing their Congress do the work that they’re sent to do. It’s because the press, the press of the United States is not covering the most significant issue of national importance and that’s the laying of lives down in the nation for the service of our country. It’s despicable, the national press corps right now.”

Honest, congressman, I’d be more than happy to cover your ridiculous drunken ramblings in person, but nobody in the “national press corps” is willing to pay me to make fun of you. And speaking of “despicable” . . .

Kennedy has repeatedly said he did not drink alcohol before the car accident, and he was disoriented from two prescription medications: Ambien and Phenergan. Police on the scene said he appeared to be intoxicated; however, no sobriety tests were conducted that night to prove he had been drinking.

Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE II: Fortunately, Allahpundit could be reached for comment:

Funny, but I don’t remember many Democratic complaints about the sustained media swarm over Mark Foley in fall 2006 while Iraq was falling apart. I’m sure there’s an explanation for the difference somewhere.

True dat.

    This is how the prostitute media does a cover-up of what their paymasters don’t want the US public to know.

    Democrats Prepare “Slaughter Solution” to Ram Unpopular Health Care Takeover Through Congress Without a Vote

    Follow @GOPLeader on Twitter for updates.

    The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obama’s massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution.

    The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill. You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughter’s scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply “deeming” the Senate bill passed in the House – without an actual vote by members of the House

    “Police on the scene said he appeared to be intoxicated; however, no sobriety tests were conducted that night to prove he had been drinking.”

    So the police involved were fired or suspended right? Right? Corruption really pisses me off.

    On the other hand,

    as a conservative, I do think the lack of war coverage by the MSM was and is shameful.

    I pray for our men and women over in Afghanistan and in other regions.

    I filed the Ambien Class Action in 2006 that resulted in the FDA mandating not just Sanofi-Aventis but all sleep manufacturers to use the exact warnings I fought for one year for. See http://www.appellate-brief.com/knowledge/class-actions/ambien

    I’m writing a book about the Ambien experience because I believe it will rank the worst drug out there–after all, its a hypnotic allowed to turn .001% of the 26 million users, or 26,000 people, into Ambien Zombies who do kill others and themselves under the influence. And of course, if they’re not dead, then there’s the Tiger Woods and Kennedy’s driving around in stupors and blaming the drug.

    Time to WAKE UP AMERICA–we’re all being sedated.
