Never Take Responsibility

TATIANA Platt, the wife of architect Campion Platt, was besieged yesterday by reporters chasing a Boston Herald story that Rep. Patrick Kennedy might have become addicted to painkillers because he had a broken heart. Kennedy dated Tatiana before she married Platt in 2004. And that was what caused the car accident he had last week, where the capital police did NOT breathelyze him and drove him home. Kennedy then responded that he had been at home but had become dazed on his sleeping and stomach medication and got in the car.

Gee, yeah, that could be it....or, you could believe one or two of the officers on the scene who said he smelled like booze, and the hostess at the local bar who said he'd been there drinking all night.
