Was sleep medication the cause? Kerry Kennedy is avoiding the spotlight in the wake of a DUI late last week. Kerry, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy who was once married to current New York governor Andrew Cuomo, was arrested early Friday in Westchester County, NY after her car smashed into a tractor-trailer. Early reports suggested Ambien was the cause — her cousin, former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, had a similar Ambien-induced incident in 2006. Her blood test results will take a week to come back, however. Kerry’s family had been in the news recently; she allegedly had an emotional reaction to the illegal re-burial of her sister-in-law, Mary Richardson Kennedy, which her family only found out after the burial took place. source
An 18-month affair: A former intern for the Kennedy administration plans to release a tell-all book titled “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and its Aftermath.” Starting when she was 19, Mimi Alford worked at the White House and claims to have had an 18-month affair with President Kennedy. Alford, who says she lost her virginity to the president, claimed that the president overpowered her, but he did so using his charm, not physically, “because I really think I was willing to do it.” source
A family legacy continues: A Kennedy has held a high position of power in D.C for 63 years - until the passing of Edward Kennedy in 2009 and the retirement of his son Patrick in 2011. Joseph P. Kennedy III has decided to run for Congress to fill the gap. The Spanish-speaking Stanford and Harvard Law graduate hopes to fill the Congressional seat of Barney Frank. He’ll have some big shoes to fill, in more ways than one. source
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver separate: The Kennedys are about to lose its West Coast power couple. The former California governor (best known as a pun-friendly movie star) and his wife (best known for her time with “Dateline NBC”) have been living apart for a few weeks now. “We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives,” the couple said in a joint statement, which requested privacy. Arnold has said in the past that the rigors of being the governor of California were tough on his family life, and it shows here. (h/t producermatthew)
There is no doubt he does not remember the critical events. He is not feigning it. It’s not an act. He does not remember it.SIrhan Sirhan’s attorney William F. Pepper • Explaining that his client, who is up for parole Wednesday, does not remember shooting Robert Kennedy back in the ’60s. Pepper claims Sirhan (not telling you if that’s his first or last name) was ”hypno-programmed” when he fired at the presidential candidate. All of this actually hurts Sirhan’s chances at parole, which require him to be able to show remorse for the crime … uh, that’s kinda tough when he claims he can’t even remember what he did. source (via • follow)
