Patrick Kennedy is lying!

Capitol police in Washington, D.C., investigating U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy’s early-morning car wreck have been told by witnesses that the Rhode Island congressman was at a Capitol Hill bar before the crash, the Herald has learned.

A source close to the probe said witnesses have told detectives that Kennedy was at the Hawk & Dove before he slammed his Ford Mustang into a security barrier near the U.S. Capitol. The source added that cops are continuing to seek evidence to confirm that Kennedy was at the watering hole.

The Herald reported last week that a Hawk & Dove hostess said the 38-year-old pol is a frequent customer and was drinking in the bar before the May 4 crash. Kennedy has denied he was drinking, blaming the accident on a cocktail of prescription painkillers and sleeping pills. He has since checked into a Minnesota rehab.

He should have just admitted that he was drunk, taken the breathalyzer test, and then entered rehab if he felt it was necessary. If he would have done that I would have nothing negative to say about the guy. But I have been bashing the Republicans and this President for lying to us. If I demand honesty from them, well then of course I expect it from all of the Democrats in public office as well.

It makes us look like hypocrites to give a pass to Kennedy when we are beating the drums to get the corrupt lying Republicans out of office. I am not a hypocrite. Therefore it is time for Kennedy to go.
