A story you may have missed...
Douglas County Ore.,...
Sheriff's Deputies in Douglas County charged William Roderick, 60, with assault after they said he shot a snorkeler in the head. Mr. Roderick explained that he thought the victim was a large rodent called a nutria swimming in the Smith River when he fired a .22 caliber rifle from the deck of a friend's riverfront home.
After being taken into custody, Mr. Roderick remembered that his name was actually Representative Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island. Upon further reflection he recalled that he was on his way to Capital Hill for an important congressional vote. It was either that or he was on his way to the pharmacy to pick-up another bottle of the sleep aid Ambien...Or, was it the liquor store? Mr. Roderick, (er..Kennedy) was to be released to the custody of his father, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy, but the senator was unavailable do to his busy schedule as an underwater driving instructor.
