(Newser) – Another Kennedy is making alcohol-related headlines: This time it’s Mary Kennedy, wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was arrested for drunk driving Saturday. Kennedy, 50, jumped a curb outside a New York school where, she told police, she was picking up “some people” from a carnival. She failed sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11%, above the legal limit of 0.08%, reports the Journal News.

The arrest comes days after two domestic disputes at the Kennedy home: On Thursday officers responded to a 911 call and filed a domestic incident report; three days prior, police got a call about a dispute between the Kennedy children. No arrests were made, but apparently this is nothing new: An officer says, “We've been to that property in the past, and I'll just leave it at that.”

It's Papa Joe's bootlegging and rum running and making millions off the backs of others trading in illegal whiskey that is coming back on them...and their families...it's called 'what goes around comes around.." ...or just plain old KARMA!  Who cares? they haven't got the sense yet to figure out why all ths happens to them...only goes to show that MONEY DON'T BUY CLASS!
