1. I agree, just let it lie.

We want the focus to be on Hookergate and Porter Goss. Cancel that damn press conference!

2. Cancelling makes it worse

He needs to low key this, say whatever needs to be said, and get it behind him.

Hell, half the reporters are probably en route to have a late lunch with their CIA contacts anyway.

5. Right Wing Math

One low Ranking Democrat "apparently" with a DUI = Any of the Major GOP Scandals

"They all do it - case closed - move on - let's go find some missing white females"

11. No DUI . Not charged. Bullshit meme.

But your point is correct: a fender bender by some slob on his way home is not exactly high crimes and misdemeanors.

4. Agreed

He could put out a press release and it would change the impact to minimal, when you have something like the Watergate Sex Scandal brewing this is the time to get into the foxhole and duck fire because everyone knows they're already hammering Patrick and Ted because of their political affiliation.

9. Let Mr. Kennedy play the Friday news dump game

No one except Drudge, Fox and the Washington Times will pay any attention to it.

17. Kennedy is doing the right thing for the right reasons

This story will now die a quick death because the speculation fueling it has now ended. I admire the man for going public with this and getting the help he needs. Well done, Mr. Kennedy.

18. Been watching CNN for 1/2 hour. Not a mention of Goss.

Kennedy wiped Goss off the news like magic.
