Rep. Kennedy in car crash in D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Rep. Patrick Kennedy was involved in a single-car crash early this morning in downtown Washington, his office said late this afternoon.

Kennedy's press secretary, Robin Costello, confirmed that the accident took place near the Capitol building, at the intersection of 1st and C Streets, SE. She said the Rhode Island Democrat and member of the famous Kennedy clan was not hurt.

Reacting to some media reports, Kennedy said he was not under the influence of alcohol when he crashed the green Mustang.

"I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident. I will fully cooperate with the Capitol police in whatever investigation they choose to undertake," Kennedy said through Costello.

Of course he wasn`t drinking. Not Patches!. I`m sure he will be re-elected with no problem. I`m just proud to have an actual Kennedy living in our state. I hope he runs for senate someday.

The comment from this Kennedy "I want to cooperate fully with the police" is as empty as a completely drained bottle of an "adult beverage". The first cops on the scene wanted to give Kennedy the standard sobriety test....That was the time for Kennedy to say "Let's have the test, I want to cooperate fully". Like his daddy at Chappaquiddick, he got the hell out of there and will leave the cleanup to his lawyers. What do you want to bet he gets a free pass on this?
