WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Patrick Kennedy, son of Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, crashed his car into a barricade on Capitol Hill early Thursday, the Rhode Island Democrat said.

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

Rep. Kennedy was not injured in the accident, which apparently happened about 3 a.m., one law enforcement source said.

The elder Kennedy, a fellow Democrat, said he had no immediate comment.

Congressional and law enforcement sources said Capitol Hill Police witnessed the accident, and they reported that Kennedy was the only one in the car, which was badly damaged.

At least no secretaries were harmed in the making of this Kennedy drunk driving escapade.

Give the dipshit a plane so he can get it right; or at least some skiis and a football.

WASHINGTON - Rep. Patrick Kennedy crashed his car near the Capitol early Thursday, and a police official said he appeared intoxicated. Kennedy said he had taken sleep medication and a prescription anti-nausea drug that can cause drowsiness.

Kennedy, D-R.I., addressed the issue after a spate of news reports. His initial statement said, "I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident."

Later, however, he issued a longer statement saying the attending physician for Congress had prescribed Phenergan on Tuesday to treat Kennedy's gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines.

Kennedy said he returned to his Capitol Hill home on Wednesday evening after a final series of votes in Congress and took "prescribed" amounts of Phenergan and Ambien, another prescribed drug that he occasionally takes to fall asleep.

"Some time around 2:45 a.m., I drove the few blocks to the Capitol Complex believing I needed to vote," his second statement said. "Apparently, I was disoriented from the medication."

My grandpa used to call the bottle of scotch above the fridge his "medicine" too.

Police supervisors arrived at the scene in time to prevent the officers from administering a sobriety test and ordered the rich famous fuckwad driven to his house.

Not even to a hospital but straight home after a serious crash.

Wonder how deep the media will dig into this?

Glad to see minds have been made up already.
What a joy to behold.
Land of the free and the presumption of innocence.

Since there are only two "minds" in this thread I'd like to know what I posted that indicates to you that my mind has been "made up"?

probably about as deep as they do when the Vice-President shoots somebody in the face and doesn't have to talk to the police until the next day

But Cheney's not a drug addicted alcoholic, like the majority of the Kennedy clan.

It's every Americans duty to lambast the Kennedy's, they're a national joke.

He's going into rehab.

Addiction to prescription painkillers, alcohol.

I personally know a gal who crashed her car into a light post because she was on prescription meds. They took her driver's license away on the spot. Three years later, she is still without a driver license.
