HaHaHaHa there they go again those wacky Kennedy's.They must have an excuse book for each member of this drug addicted booze soaked bum of a family.What losers ,remind me of the English Royal's

First the Commerce Secretary had these complex seizures that caused 3 hit and runs.. Now this? It is amazing when people that can actually afford to have an accident always get out of it becuase they have these never before existing "complex seizures" that cause them to still be able to drive but only have seizures when they do something wrong. Take their licenses if they use this BS defense because they are a danger to themselves and others. It's just rich people taking care of rich people and using less fortunates as "examples" to the other less fortunates when they stand trial. Class Warfare is alive and well in the USA it is a battle fought daily by the rich politicians and their government cronies. Vote out all incumbents so they can remember what its like to be a citizen!

I am not one to criticize peoples looks but, have to admit never before have seen such ugly woman as these. I mean they look like worn out crack addicts!

Clearly a seizure-prone family...

Yes, hereditary in play here. Uncle Teddy used to have lots of seizures. You are lucky honey. You didn't drown someone.

Well, I see we all believe her explaination. (wink wink)

Apparently the 1%ers are using seizures as a way of getting out of jail these days. Not to long ago another politician crashed his car, and the cause for that too was a seizure, and he hit three cars and kept driving.

This is bs. This bytch was on drugs or alcohol. Lock her pathetic azz up like any other person that breaks the law.

Just goes to show how much power their money has! Gives me a seizure just thinking about all the stuff they get away with!

Another cover-up no doubt. That whole family has gotten away with murder and who knows what else. They are above the law

She MUST have been coached by Teddie. A known murderer.

Troll

Another POS from that left wing elistist criminal clan.

She can thank her lucky stars she was nowhere near a bridge.

I think I'll try it my next runin with the law..Wonder what that Doctor charged for those results?

When the cop asks you if you are under the influence I don't think that, "No sir. I took some bong rips, tooted a few lines and ate three of those little blues pills from my husbands nightstand" is going to be the reply he expects...

My, what nasty people.

I have a niece who has epilepsy and also worked with people with developmental disabilities, many of who also had epilepsy, some years ago. Epilepsy can occur at any age--it can also be the first symptom of a brain tumor, incidentally.

My niece was presumed to be a drug user in h.s. as her seizures started getting worse with puberty, were not well-controlled with medication (complex partial seizures can cause strange behavior, like wandering out of the classroom), and the medication itself was keeping her zonked out.

Ms. Kennedy is likely to lose her license for at least a year due to a medically documented seizure.

"Losing your license" is not automatic. I was able to bring my seizures under control with medication very quickly and was never reported to DMV by my doctor. Where I live, they only have to report if you have a medical condition that cannot be managed medically and you are unsafe. I just followed her recommendation to not drive. I did chuckle when I read that she will live "symptom free". The medicine can kick your butt and give you a whole new host of symptoms! But--it is better than seizures.

Did the seizure make her flee or was that just advice she once received from Ted??

You need to be seizure free for 6 months before you are permitted to drive again unless your seizure was caused by something other than epilepsy (ie abnormal EEG). And I agree, the drugs have nasty, nasty side effects. Wouldn't be worth taking them just to pretend you're epileptic to get out of something.

DTs, also known as the "Irish jig" (how apropo coming rom a Kennedy), are well-known seizures associated with heavy drinking.

This seizure not only caused her to hit the truck, but also to leave the scene? Love to hear the explanation for the latter part.

Unless you have had a seziure don't accuse someone of faking one just b/c of their family or money status.

seizure.....the hip excuse for the rich and famous.
Too funny.

Was this medical condition diagnosed in the Kennedy Wing of the local hospital?

Some of you are ill-informed and just awful. She tested drug free- prescription and otherwise. But I guess jokes at other peoples' expense are always cheap and easy, now aren't they?

As far as seizures go, yes they can make you do some funny things. I have had epilepsy for 14 years now, and I will do stupid things, unbeknownst to me, in a seizure enduced fugue. I once was at a business function, roamed the hotel in the middle of the night topless, and "woke"up in the elevator. I've come to in the middle of conversation I didn't know I was having, I've lost days and weeks of memory, I've wandered into busy streets, I've stopped breathing, I've lost teeth- well I've done a lot of things. Seizures have stolen a lot of my life- it's easy for you all without this problem to joke, but I have organ damage from medication, and cannot have children. I have slight brain damage, so I slur my speech, and juxtapose my letters when writing. Everyday begins with a headache and 7 pills. I'm not even 30. It is perfectly reasonable for Ms. Kennedy to have had a seizure while driving, and then drive away, or say things she doesn't remember. The brain is complicated my friends.

Hopefully, her type of seizures are not re-occurring, because this is not an easy disorder to live with, and if they are a new part of her life, I hope she gets good treatment, and it can be treated with medication, with the least amount of side effects, because that's no fun either. Best of luck to her! Anyone interested in actual information and not snark can go to epilepsy.org for information on how to help if someone has a seizure, resources, etc.

What part of no drugs or alcohol found in her system do some posters not understand?

She tested drug free- prescription and otherwise.

What part of no drugs or alcohol found in her system do some posters not understand?

There seems to be a few psychics in the house; as the testing for drugs and/or alcohol has not even come back yet.

@EMaggs:
Where in the article does it state it was an epileptic seizure? Where in the video does it state is was an epileptic seizure? NOWHERE.. Ill-informed...hmmmm, nice soap-box.

Yes, people are awful. Since Joe made his millions the family has been in a scandal of some sort for every decade, if not more, people are going to poke fun at them. Unfortunately most jokes come at the expense of someone else. I hate to pigeon-hole people, but the phrase, "Past behaviors are future predictors" seems to work well with this family.

Yes people, HER doctor stated there were no drugs in her system. Let's see what results the state get. If they get the same results then good for her. I hope she can get treatment.

What an insult to people who have real seizure disorders. Go back to the usual "allergic reaction to medication" excuse. Or better yet, go to rehab.

Sometimes I think that nothing on these discussion threads can surprise me anymore. But I am still a bit surprised by the vitriol toward this woman. Prior to this incident, how many of you who are posting nasty, judgmental comments had ever even heard of Kerry Kennedy?

How is it possible to jump from "never heard of her" obscurity to dismissing her value as a human being because of this widely reported incident?

What if it turns out, when all is said and done, there were no drugs or alcohol involved, that she suffered a seizure as a result of a medical issue which was previously unknown?

Is it that surname; "Kennedy"; Is that what it's all about?

Seriously? This woman, 52 years old, and regardless of whatever good deeds and personal accomplishments during her lifetime, is condemned because of her last name?

If this incident had occurred in our own community, and the woman's name was Kerry Smith, and we knew nothing more than the "facts" reported so far ... would we condemn and prejudge this person and dismiss the rest of her life's worth, or would we be interested in finding out what happened to her and concerned whether a seizure or bad reaction to a prescription medication caused this incident?

What does this say about any of us? What does this prejudgment and vitriol say about you?

I used to have seizures. The memory loss is common. I was lucky, I grew out of them shortly before I turned 14. Not sure why I had them, but some of the female relatives on my father's side used to have seizures, according to some relatives of mine, so the most probable cause at this point appears to be genetics.

First time, I was 6 and at cape cod. My dad told me he had to take me to a clinic, my mother told me I threw up. I don't remember any of that to this day, that was 16 years ago. I was also told my sister annoyed a nurse at said clinic to the point of insanity -- I can't recall that.

As if having one on vacation wasn't bad enough, I had several more in school in front of classmates. I was the weird kid who had seizures and would wake up on the floor with drool or vomit coming out of my mouth post-seizure. I hated it, especially since the meds they put me on didn't seem to help for long or had nasty side effects. A memorable side effect of one medication I was on was alopecia. Hair loss at 11. I was not happy.

So, unless there is something in her blood work when the results come back, those of you hating should shut it since I doubt any of you have had a seizure in your life. Those of you who mentioned having seizures or knowing someone who does, you're in my thoughts.

This whole story is really pissing me off. As someone who has a history of seizures and how it affects you during and after having one, I can tell you that you simply don't come out of one with a clear head or even have any control of your body during it. Simply be virtue of the term, "Seizure", your brain does exactly that...it seizes...and let me tell you once you have one, you are done for the day and need time to rest...you don't come out of one...la de dah...and go for a walk...It doesn't work that way. These people are so full of $hit.

There is not any Kennedy - - alive or dead - - that gives a damn what anyone thinks. The only problem they would have is: "How much will it cost to get this fixed?:

I have a friend who suffers from complex partial seizures. She acts a little odd during seizure, and then has little or no memory of the event. It isn't funny. And yes, such an event can happen to an otherwise healthy person with no history of epilepsy. In my friend's case, though, it's a recurrent problem.

Maybe we could give this Kennedy lady the benefit of the doubt? Nah, let's bash her 'cause she's a Kennedy. Yeah, that makes me feel good.

Wow I hope this isnt becoming a epidemic, just a few weeks ago another powerful person also had a seizure, while driving. Im afraid we will be seeing more of this..

purple >>> Okay! I'll go along with it. Give her a pass! BUT, she should never drive again.

Having seizures myself and having them not start until mt mid 20's I can understand Mrs. Kennedy. About 3 years ago after not having any for over three years, I had one behind the wheel while crossing a bridge. I remember getting on the bridge, but nothing else until I came to in the bushes of a fast food restaurant that I ran into after hitting four cars. Several of the people that I hit actually helped to break me out of my car, including a local sheriff. Try to remember, Just because you can't see someone's illness doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

What if her urine test comes back clean? You all gonna say it's a conspiracy and cover up? Ya gonna say her money got her out of it? Or all of you still looking for the guy on the grassy noll?

i think ill use that excuse and see how far it gets me, i only make 30k/yr... lol

Why, what do you know that the rest of us don't?

Ted Kennedy drove drunk, killed his passenger and nothing happened to him. She will get off on this too. remember, the color of justice is green :)

William Sweet is 100 % right ! Money buys all,and if that doesnt work use the power of the badge or court friends to get you off. obuttheads dream is at work here in America and nobody has enough -ss to do anything about it. God Bless !!

Butch-325770 - - -

The tests will most likely be done in the Kennedy lab which is located in the basement of their bank. If you expect any results other than "clean" you are spending too much time waiting for the tooth fairy and, yes, there was a "guy" on the grassy knoll.

The only one you cannot be mad at is Joe Jr. He died in WWII.

Like all the rest Joe Jr. too was a jerk. During the war him and his brother JFK came home on leave which I believe was very unfair to all the others who had to wait until the end of the war before coming back home. While at home JFK showed off his medal which he did not deserve and Joe got all upset and so he went upstairs into his bedroom to pout "why did he get a medal, I should of got the medal, it's just not fair". He only cared about self glory. To keep him happy daddy promised him two things, one he'll make him into a president after he returns home from the war and two he'll make him into a war hero with that useless mission which got him blown up. The entire Kennedy clan is plastic.

Paul from NM. You forgot to mention MURDERERS! Remember Teddy boy and MARY JO KONPEKNEY!!

3rd Generation of Kennedy's.

They had bad role models, but they certainly are keeping the bad Kennedy legacy going.

Accidentally taking a sleeping pill in the morning? I thought Kerry K is supposed to be "Smart".

All planned. To prove that it was a partial "seizure", she needs to show Americans a "note" from her Neurologist, or the Neurologist needs to have a press conference confirming this was the case.

Public figures really think Americans are just plain stupid. NOT.

Marchant-Be honest. The majority of Americans now are stupid.

Geez you people hate anybody who does anything good in this country. What a bunch of losers. Marxists? You use a wrd you do not even know the meaning of just because some bloggers said to use it. You need an education and a bit of knowledge cause right now people who know what they are talking about are rolling on the floor laughing at your sorry asses.

breadex, I bet they know how to spell, word.Ass. Talk about rolling on the floor, that is what I did when I read your blog. I can only guess you believe the easter bunny and Santa exist.

How far is accident from the bridge at Chappaquiddic?

Actually she allowed them to take blood and breathalyzer so if anything came back from that we'd of known. I know for a fact that a seizure can cause you to wipe out a car because my hubby wiped out two of mine while having one and his mother who also suffers from the disease would end up in far off places and couldn't account for how she got there while driving and her license was just recently taken away. They just placed a medical hold on my hubby's. You wouldn't beleive what it takes to get it taken away from people with seizure condition. My hubby is stubborn and I don't like the kids to ride with him unless I'm in the car and can see if one is perhaps coming on so I can take the wheel.

Sounds like all the armchair judges and juries are in rare form

Actually she allowed them to take blood and breathalyzer so if anything came back from that we'd of known

Actually we would not have known because they results from the toxicology report is not yet complete, First she said that she accidentally took a sleeping pill thinking it was a vitamin then she changed that to she had a seizure, Which is it, Is she so stupid that she does not know the difference between a sleeping pill and a vitamin or is it just more convenient to have a never before seizure.

WOW! If you're harboring this much hate towards the Kennedy's you should consider counseling. You criticize John's military service in the South Pacific? What theater did you fight in during WWII? Are you mad at the Kennedy who lost his leg to cancer? Man you need to let it go. They don't even have an effect on your life.

@Butch. I believe the hate you're reading toward the Kennedy family is actually just very thinly veiled JEALOUSY from the losers writing it. I hope Kerry will continue in good health.

"Bobby the hypocrite who forced integration on people but spied on MLK (deserved) and fought with J. Edgar, yet lived his elite segregated life in Hyannisport MA."

The above quote tells us all we nee to know about what motivated you on your diatribe. Let me give a few free lessons in history and in spiritual matters since you went there with the "rot in hell" quote.

I hate to tell you this but it is you who will wind up with your father the DEVIL if you don't purge yourself of the HATE in your heart. Railing against the Kennedys from a desk top is not therapy. The Kennedys have done more for America than you or the little hole of a "trailerpark" community you crawled out from will ever do.

And no segregation was a Supreme Court mandated ruling, you ignoramus. Read so that little gray matter will grow. Segregation was mandated because YOU EVIL PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH were using the law, murder, mayhem, terrorism and whatever else you could do to marginalize Americans who happen to be different from you in skin color. Put that in your poisonous pipe and smoke it will you.

You for got to mention all the other people you hate in your diatribe but we can guess. Do they wear sheets in your family gatherings. The one where you burn a cross for "RELIGIOUS" ceremony?

4luvssake:

Railing against the Kennedys from a desk top is not therapy

But I guess railing against the Tea Party and Rush Limbaugh from a desktop as you have done in your recent posts is therapy eh?

Never underestimate the inability of a liberal to see their own hypocrisy.

...my hubby wiped out two of mine while having one...

Taylor - And you still let your hubby drive your cars - or any other car? How was he able to total two cars wiith one seizure? I'm betting you let him drive your cars because you have paid up his life insurance. But how is he able to keep auto insurance with such a known condition?

What do you expect shes a Kennedy.They figure any excuse and money will get them out of trouble.If it had been you or me they would have us in jail still.This Kennedy can do anything and get away with it needs to stop.This is the same as actors,politicians and similar others that get favoritism in the courts.This is our legal system at its best.Let the wealthy go for any excuse and throw the book at the little guy.This is why our legal system no longer works properly(same as the government--wait oops their the same thing).

Seizures are the new thing. But, they are apolitical.

I always knew the dems must be sick in the head to act the way they do.... This is the second one in less then two months to have an accident and 'Don't remember anything'... Must have been a Seizure...

Hey Proud...how about having your father assassinated? Don't you think that might effect your health? If you are a Vet, perhaps you should respect your fellow patriots who also served their country in many capacities. Perhaps you should research seizures...they can happen to anyone - they are equal opportunity.

So ya'll the next time you are driving...be aware...a seizure could happen to you too. Wear your seatblelt!

Lana-1880229...(#6.3)..."Hey Proud...how about having your father assassinated? Don't you think that might effect your health?"

How ridiculous !!..."father assassinated" = Father Murdered.....It was 44 years ago....lots of folks have had their fathers murdered, however we don't see seizures happening at an alarming rate

Patrick Kennedy, her cousin used the Ambien Defence....which was her 1st. excuse...but he had to plead guilty. Now being better informed of Sec. of Commerce claiming seizure and having no charges against him, she just gets the Kennedy Family Neurologist to say she had one of those Upper Class Seizures....

Ever hear of a MOB Doctor...the ones paid well to do whatever is requied by "The Family"...

Being the ex-wife of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, doesn't hurt either....

I have taken Ambien. They are classed as a Sedative/Hypnotic, and are only to be taken as you are literally about to go to bed for at least 8 hours. Here is what Ambien can and most likely always would do to a person if they took one and did not go to bed...I know, I did just that because of an accident with my son that occurred 5 minutes after I took one at 11:00 PM. You KNOW you took something, but do not really get sleepy. From what I was told I appeared confused and drunk. I did not remember anything after getting in the passenger seat to head to the hospital, yet I was told that I was awake, yet acting "out of it."

Some people experience auditory as well as visual hallucinations...all I remember was not feeling the floorboard of the car I was getting into. I was later told I was not putting my foot on the floorboard, nor was I all the way in the car! Some people feel very relaxed and can remember bits and pieces of things, but like I said...I remember nothing after sitting down in the car. I woke up the next morning in bed, but for a while did not even remember that my son was injured or anything else. I have never taken Ambien again and I never will.

If she took an Ambien and did not go to bed, I don't know how she could say one way or another what she did. I am glad that I was not home alone with my son, or I most likely would have tried to drive, when normally I would have known better. If you take Ambien...go to bed!

Conservatives never get drunk and drive, right?

lol Lawrence, they do, they also get the DUI. I don't know of any conservative politician that killed a woman under the influence. Also, you have to admit the two seizures in the last two weeks are a little "suspect".

So your kid has seizures and I have to pay for public transportation? That's all I need is for another Kennedy pushing for tax payer money for something that is a liability forever. Sorry for your daughter but many of us are tapped out and disgusted. Unhappily, we are not all in this together anymore. Also, I doubt Kennedy was sober. Another Kennedy was stopped at the capital a while back and that was put under the rug. They are a despicable family.

People like yourself who spew ignorant BS are the dispicable ones. You hate the Kennedy's because you think they are liberal while you are the rights troll.

While I can agree with most every post regarding the Kennedy's, I would like to know how her doctor can be so sure that she had a seizure. My brother, luckily was not in an accident, but suffered a seizure of some sort while driving. They do not know the type of seizure or what caused it - he has to be having a seizure for them to diagnose the type and if in fact it is a seizure. So for her doctor to say it was a seizure - I don't buy it! My guess is one too many ambien in the morning!

Not true. Perhaps your brother had a neurologist who was not a specialist in seizure disorders. An EEG detects abnormal rhythyms in the brain. A seizure is not necessary. The testing can be done over many days by wearing a monitoring device attached to electrodes which are 'glued' to the skull.

Paul from NM

You need to be on a leash until your gray matter builds up before you can contribute to adult dialogue. You are wasting everyones time. Go away!

So your kid has seizures and I have to pay for public transportation?

What would you rather have, public transport so people that don't have (or aren't able to drive, etc) their own can get to work, or have them sit at home and claim welfare instead?

Yes, "seizure" seems to be the new "Twinkies" defense. Word must spread fast because I've already seen a few local Californian politicos use the "seizure" defense.

BTW, is there an actual medical test for "Complex Partial Seizure"?

Common name for epilepsy. You do have a computer and know how to google dont you.

Common name for epilepsy. You do have a computer and know how to google dont you.

LOL...You mean common name for under the influence of drugs/alcohol and yes there is a test for it and as soon as the results from that test are in we might see the truth but then again those records might just get sealed.

Cynical.

There are many types of seizures. Most people are familiar with grand mal seizures where the person is totally out of it and shaking. My daughter with Rett Syndrome has partial complex seizures. There are many types of seizures including absent, myclonic, simple, etc. I am not saying that she is telling the truth about having a seizure but it can happen as an adult and it is possible to have only one in your lifetime.

breadex: Yes, I did Google it and couldn't find a medical test for Complex Partial Seizure.

So in case I missed it and since you've got all the answers, why don't you splain it to us.

Siezures can be caused by something as simple as flashing lights or rapid changes in surrounding colors. Friend of mine has epilepsy and it is not a pretty sight to see. Mrs kennedy has taken blood tests to determine if she in fact did have a siezure which can happen and tests will prove yes or no. This just gives the Kennedy hater a right to spew once again cause they are jelous of anyone who helps other people like they do.

You must have a loose screw in your head if you believe the Kennedy's should be admired. Old man Kennedy made his money during the depression by bootlegging liquor. Then he built the Merchandise Mart in Chicago by paying men just $1 a day for morning to night labor. You call this someone I should be jealous of. He bought the presidency for his son with mob money and and then they paid the ultimate price by being shot. The third son then kills a young girl after a drunken night out and doesn't call the police until the next day. You can go down the line of the Kennedy's and find drunks, cheats, drug users and killers. Camelot in the 60's was nothing more than a revolving door at the white house for actresses and prostitutes for the Kennedy brothers. What role models to look up to. Be real, get your head examined. Everyone of them always has a stupid excuse for when they get in trouble.

Haters gonna hate every chance they get, I suppose. No matter the who of the matter in a public figure's life, there's a bounty on for their character to be assassinated by the haters, even if there is great personal tragedy involved. I suppose it makes the hater feel good to bash people who've achieved some measure of notoriety in their life for whatever reason, even if it's just because they were born into said notoriety. I think hating has become systemic in our society, and we wonder why the very best and most qualified amongst us won't run for public office? Who really wants to submit themselves and their family to this sort of scrutiny, ridicule, intrusion and constant spotlight? We're one twisted society right now. That much is a fact, Jack.

Thank you. What is the voice of reason doing here?

I'd have never even paid attention to this story, except that something like this happened to my neighbor last month......when she totalled her car BACKING into her assigned parking spot at our apartment complex. She jumped the curb & took out a nice chunk of one of the corner units as well. Doctors found some sort of growth on her brain ( I didn't press for "details"....as she was obviously upset ).......but it WAS a seizure of some type. Just yesterday, she was telling me she has to go in for surgery later this week....to have a "stint" ( ? ) put into one of her carotid arteries......because it's too narrow.

breadex:

Mrs kennedy has taken blood tests to determine if she in fact did have a siezure which can happen and tests will prove yes or no.

So, blood tests determine whether someone has had a seizure. I couldn't find anything under medical testing for Complex Partial Seizures, her official diagnosis. Please quote the site where you found this information.

Since from your post you have a prediposed opinion nothing you said after that has any meaning.

Windancersong,

I was delighted to read your very reasoned and intelligent response. It saddens me that everyone else who has posted just decided to see who could say the meanest things about the Kennedy family. You wrote:

I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt no matter who they are. I can't call myself fair if I go around labeling people based on the family they happen to be born into . . . I believe in taking each person separately for who they are and giving them a clean slate with which to let them leave their mark on.

Beautifully put. Thank you!

I agree ....God made some people so we can keep track of the idiot level in this country.

Windancersong-I agree with your benefit of the doubt approach to life. Unfortunately in this case that fails to deal with a unique reality. It is very unlikely that this Kennedy, who may be a fine person on a standalone basis, has anything to do or say with the public position or explanation being offered. The massive Kennedy spin machine is larger than any one Kennedy. Do you think for a minute they would let this Kennedy smear their name? In the case of the Kennedy's I have extinguished all benefit of the doubt I had in me. After so many gave Ted Kennedy a life time of benefit of doubt when he was responsible for the death of a woman I am done. There are countless other Kennedy incidents where their guilt or innocence was lost in the liberal media smoke machine.

I was thinking the same thing Allen. My understanding is that seizurescommonly appear at age 20. Certainly not as late as 50 something for a first occurrence.

And what does she mean by "I might have accidently taken a sleeping pill in the morning"! Tells me she was taking some kind of pill that morning. Did she get the script bottles mixed up? What was she intending to take? You're right, a routine blood and urine test can't possibly detect everything.

Somethings fishy here.

Allen, then as a Physician, as you stated that it is very unlikely to happen, it DOES still happen. Seizures can also occur with someone who has a high grade fever, brain swelling and increased pressure on the brain as well as chemical imbalances are common causes of adult seizure activity. Metabolic issues like low blood sugar, low blood sodium, elevated blood ammonia associated with severe liver disease, and electrolyte imbalances related to kidney failure, and sometimes...it just happens!

But, what would I know. I'm just a pee-on CNA who has spent the last 4 years working with 2 Neurologists, going through many, many tests trying to figure out why, at the age of 27, I started having Tonic-Clonic seizures and now just about every seizure there is, when 4 years ago I was perfectly healthy.

All of the Kennedy family political, using their money to buy their way out of trouble aside, IF this is what happened to her, I hope that she gets the help that she needs. This is not a fun way to live. If it's not what happened, then she needs to have justice served to her the same way the normal American person does.

Nonsense my friend did not develop his symptoms until he was 45. She was on her way to a gym. She may have suffered a slight injury or sometimes trauma can do harm. I dont know many physicians who would make a gereralized remark like your then follow it up with anti Kennedy spew.

That is absolute nonsense. I have lived it. I had no symptoims whatsoever when all of a sudden I had a series of seizures at 47. They could not figure it out and I haven't had one in 6 years now. As a physician Allen you should be ashamed for telling a lie. Your statement is an absolute falsehood. You may develop siexures at any time in life for no reason at all. Just ask my friends who had to pick me up after I had a siezure and fell into a glass table. You may be a Dr. (questionable) but I had 5 neurologists try to figure my seizures out and they never did. That includes two that I had right in front of them. I had to take Neurontin for 2 years and now still take Trileptal. So please don't spout untruths O.K.? People on here may believe you.

AllenJ - please post your medical degree.

I had my first seizure at the age of 41. Fortunately, I was at home with my family. After I also had the extended test and spent 5 days in the hospital with electrodes attached to my head which showed I had seizure activity on the right side of my brain. After much internet research and talking with my specialist, he determined that it is a condition called Catamenial Epilepsy. This can effect young girls and women is strictly hormonal. Do the research.

Not saying I believe her but a first time seizure is possible at that age. My father is 70 and had his first (and only seizure so far) back in March of this year while walking around outside at his camp....actually, he had 2 back to back. So now he has someone drive him around town incase of another seizure. So far, so good.

Allen is not a physician.

Read the statement which in effect says with treatment she can live sympton free! Geez

Troll

Troll

No, you are not free to go until you have the family dress up and perform 3 more press conferences.

They don't age well, that's for sure. Did you see pictures of Eunice in the years prior to her death? I've never seen a human being with so many deep wrinkles. She looked like she could have been at least 150.

Lord now they are letting 3rd garders post in here...

You failed the spelling test, you won't be going to 4th grade.

Not really. What I notice is that some people seem unaware of what middle-aged women look like when we are not wearing makeup other than lipstick. The Kennedy women eschew makeup - it's a rich person thing to go bare-faced. (Actually a rich person who wants to differentiate from the nouveau riche.) They don't age poorly, that's just what we look like when we are not painting ourselves to placate men who don't know any better.

My wife don't wear makeup. Does that make us rich? (being a wise ass)

Please post a picture of you in drag.

Please don't. LOL!

My wife don't wear makeup. Does that make us rich?

Only if she is really scarey looking without makeup.

Wonder how much she had to pay her lawyer to come up with that excuse.

Probably slightly less than the police chief to accept that excuse.

It is all speculation until the results are in. Anything is possible but the results from DUI test will determine if she was under the influence or not!

giving her the benefit of the doubt, however, most regular drug tests do not cover, nor look for some medicines that cause drowsiness. (such as sleeping pills, or stronger aspirin derivatives that can cause those symptoms when taken on an empty stomach. ) Acid Flashbacks can re-occur at random intervals. The symptoms behind the "seizure" type claimed here can also be Food Borne Illness related as well. Early onset cancer, Fear ( maybe she was almost in an accident prior to having one) creates tunnel vision . (Much like walking in the forrest, thinking you see a snake, instead of picking up a stick to kill it you pick up the snake)

The most interesting thing I have seen on this blog, This is Still MSN Liberal Haven, and the majority of the posters are bashing their beloved First Family. Ahhhh, can you smell the hypocrisy.

Baffled doctors or not, I don't want to take the chance that he won't have another one. It's like the movie jaws. They killed the first shark, so there is no way they could be unlucky enough to have another shark floating around the area. While the story is fictional, the idea is entirely real. If one shark made it to Amity, why couldn't another? The fact is, there could most certainly be another. I ain't swimming in that bay again!

Another voice of reason. I don't think I can take many more.

@Winddancersong: You are absolutely right! I posted above that I developed them at 47 for no reason. You're a voice of reason for giving the benifit of the doubt. According to Allen (A physician? above) It's bull to develop symptoms that late in life. LMAO. It's a little different when it happens to you.

AFAIK, Maria left her pathetic husband when she discovered his infidelity. How is it that her heart rules her mind?

Because they're dabbling with reconciliation.

Read m all! For a capital economy and democratic country whose standard of living is sought, yeah infringed upon by all kinds of disenfranchised from around the globe - -implying that we have some money and goods to enjoy over here --the writers sure hate people who've found their way to riches! Hey fools. It's gross to be poor. That's why so many poorer people steal and deal in drugs at the street level. As for Kennedy's - -unpolished immigrants who made it business and politics? Where is it written that either path of learning clarifies morals or polishes people. That's a recipe for "do it wrong". Italians who typically make great citizens, as poor, uneducated immigrants fell back on the cosa nostra way for justice and protection. Some of those who made it that way are still card carrying _ss _oles. Look, Ms Whatsername (interchangeable) Kennedy stammered something about taking a sleeping pill by "mistake"...."nerrrrrrrrrrrrrt said the buzzer - -but thank you for playing"...that's like watching your 15 year old try to stammer his way out of an adolescent pickle. But attacking her for looking like an alligator handbag? (Whoever said it's a "rich thing" is right. Sailboat raised among the older money have severe sun damage and eschew makeup. Wild hair, cotton skirts topped off by a sowester isn't uncommon in their shore villages.) Don't abandon the point. She has a high degree of probability of having taken something, but it's also a shred possible to have a first seizure. Now I'll hit back. Jackie and John F captivated America which still wished it was as young and principled as our founding fathers. They made us feel good and we shared in the romance of it all willingly. People knew some but not all of it (except political cynics) but sublimated and dismissed the ungainly details. Like the men of that era Jack's peccadillos weren't publicly discussed: Secret Service was loyal and Jackie was to be protected from too much press. It was OUR age. As far as the politics and international relations? No less adept than your brilliant now generations have been able to miller. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT 20 YEARS FROM NOW DOES WITH IN-DEPTH EXAMINATIONS OF THE 'hidden tapes','sealed transcripts' and personal journals OF THE OBAMA YEARS. MR. MAN OF THE PEOPLE HAS TERRIBLE FEET OF CLAY AND IS SUBJECT TO POLITICAL EXPEDIENCIES, DEALS AND PRESSURE. Are we not still cannibalizing young men in war and simply switching where we send them? They're not home and he's still talking. His solutions to financial crisis from where I'm sitting (I work for a Federal Agency) are horrible and where we are skewed miserably against living wage for the lower paid workers. ( Porky porky UPPERS! ). Go ahead, keep talking. I'll take the Kennedy years by comparison, not actual virtue. I have kids that need a safer life, better education, and yes - a few naieve virtues to believe in and feel good about, and I'm about to retire and can't trust what I'll get. But then again I didn't get here illegally and don't have a mixed race ancestor to feel sorry for. I'm no supremacist but lets not base policies on the OPPOSITE wrong value. Or give the squeaky wheels unending money to "disguise" the problems' ugliness. Mr. O's a little good at that. Lets remember the people and values that built this country and not throw out the baby with the bathwater.

@Lawrence, Seriously dude, "TROLL" is all you have to say? Or are you just hoping Sally and Tyler move you off the boards?

I completely understand the comments about the Kennedy excuses and thinking that this is just another in a long line. However, I'm wondering why NBC would both have the reporter call her "behavior" bazarre, and then report that a seizure may have been the cause, and also talk to an expert who explains that a seizure could have caused her symtoms. If there is a chance it was a seizure, how is that bizarre (i.e. crazy)? Epilepsy is a serious disorder that should be taken seriously - and even if it was her first seizure -- it is not a joke. (if there was evidence her statement about the seizure wasn't true - why bother calling on the neurologist as an expert in the story???)
