Laura Bush, when she was 17 years old <em>was</em> in a car accident. And it did result in the death of her boyfriend. It <em>was</em> a tragic accident. But according to <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3910b26e685a.htm" rel="nofollow">police reports</a>, Laura Welsh was not drunk. According to the police report, neither person involved in the accident had been drinking at all. In Laura Bush's case, you're right---it's not a political issue. It happened when she was 17. And it was nothing more than a tragic accident. In Pat Kennedy's story, it's absolutely a "political" issue --- we have a Congressman (from America's storied Camelot family, noless) who is a long-time drug addict. Who's out driving his car while hopped up on sleeping pills. Who then uses a Constitutional-out to avoid jail (<em>I was on my way to a vote...</em>). Dan, do you just make this stuff up?

It's not really a political issue, any more than when Laura Bush killed someone driving drunk. In all seriousness, this was a serious personal mistake on Kennedy’s part, and he should be punished.

I didn't even know there was a Kennedy in the House until this broke - he's small potatoes. Equating this guy to Rumsfeld or DeLay is rather dishonest.
