Kennedy crashed his car early Thursday into a traffic barrier on Capitol Hill. Mr. Kennedy, a six-term Democratic congressman from Rhode Island, said this afternoon that he would seek rehabilitation treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The congressman said today that he did not remember any details of the accident or the events surrounding it at about 3 a.m. on Thursday. But he said, "I do know enough to know that I need to seek expert help." Mr. Kennedy, the son of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, said at a news conference: "I simply do not remember getting out of bed, being pulled over by the police or being cited for three driving infractions. That's not how I want to live my life, and that's not how I want to represent the people of Rhode Island." Mr. Kennedy, 38, said he was leaving this afternoon to enter the Mayo Clinic. He acknowledged today that he had been treated there in December for what he described as an "addiction to prescription pain medication," he returned to Congress "reinvigorated and healthy." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/05/wa...f91&ei=5087%0A He should have just smoked some pot, problem solved!  Man made drugs have a negative grip on the Dems & Repubs!  | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I had a couple cocktails with lunch one day and then had an ambien at night. I had a crazy, crazy trippy asleep but awake episode.
