Everybody's harshing on Patrick Kennedy. At least he kept the car out of the water the two times he's wrecked these past few weeks.
Didn't Billy Joel also have a string of car wrecks? You know what happened to him.
Michelle Malkin has more, including some great links.

Posted by: Donnah at May 5, 2006 08:37 AM Kept his car out of the water? He was alone! He won't do the tri-athalon,(drink,drive,dive), thing until he gets it right, and has an intern for a passenger. He don't want to embarrass the Massachussetts Manatee by not doing it right. After all he has the family image to uphold, and he is a member of the U.S. House of Reprehensives. Of course he kept the car dry. And also, he don't own the car. It is owned by "Friends of Patrick Kennedy,inc". Joe Kennedy, John Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy, sure can see the resemblence, can't we?

"Massachussetts Manatee." Manatees are a gentle and beloved Florida creature who never drink Chivas Regal.
Posted by: Donnah at May 5, 2006 09:34 AMMeh, all I've got to say is that this is a clear cut case of preferential treatment.
Doesn't matter that he's a Kennedy, (but it is better shadenfruede) only that he was "given a ride home" after it was discovered whom he was.
One of my sigs on usenet was "You can't *pay* for entertainment like this." , and it still holds true.

And stay IN the water, mind you.
Posted by: tree hugging sister at May 5, 2006 06:08 PM Gentle and Beloved creatures? Gentle yes, beloved, u'mmmmm by maybe 9 non-boating types. I don't have a problem with them, just with the Manatee huggers who legislate with more emotion than common sense. I even like to let my dog swim with any that show up in the marina wherever we may be. Also, with their reputation for fat, I can tell people that: "My dog is in fact a Manatee with a fur coat, dogs don't get that fat." But big Teddy, now that is a mess. And yes, Manatees do stay in the water, and not swim out and consult with a lawyer cousin for a "fix this" plan.
Every time I call Tubby the "Massauchusetts Manatee" I do in fact apologize to the Manatees.

My wife spotted a bumper sticker the other day that said - "I'D RATHER HUNT WITH CHENEY THAN DRIVE WITH KENNEDY". This was in a very blue state too - must've been someone passing through.
Posted by: tfhr at May 5, 2006 09:54 PMEven the fabled blue states are more like "blue cities." Outside the large metropolitan areas, the political hue changes.
