» N.Y.— The wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was charged with drunken driving after a police officer saw her run over a curb outside a suburban school, authorities said Tuesday.

Police had responded to the Kennedy home twice in the week before the arrest but said no crimes had been committed there.

Mary Richardson Kennedy, 50, was arrested Saturday with a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent, Sgt. Matt Dunn said. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Kennedy told police she was at the Bedford school to pick up people from a carnival, authorities said.

Officers had visited the Kennedy home twice in the last week, on May 10 and May 13, but Lt. Jeff Dickan said those visits were unrelated to the arrest.

Glad no one was hurt. Stupid, though. Ugh.

2. Family connections don't mean what they used to

The world is sure changing.

3. Family connections still work for the Bush's

And it seems to me that Republicans can still get away with plenty.

6. They've certainly been covering up all their drunk driving lately

Same old story.

4. They're gonna put her under the jail...

an incident like that happening outside a school... dangerous

5. Glad they caught her..driving near schools is a terrible thing.

Something really bad could have happened to a child.

She needs help and treatment too.

7. You'd think the Kennedys would learn to stop drinking alcohol altogether.

It has gotten one after the other of them in trouble.

They need to start their own Alcoholics Anonymous group. A family Alcoholics Anonymous group.

I'm sorry to say this. They are good people, but they need to understand that alcohol is a poison for many people. Alcohol must be a part of the family's social scene. Too bad.

8. The family fortune was made on booze...

bootleg booze.

Lessee, intoxicated while driving in the vicinity of a school. Was she picking up some kids? How about 3 months in the clink.

9. Talk about karma.

10. Please get treatment and get well, Mrs. K.
