The Resume

    (July 14, 1967- )
    Son of Ted Kennedy
    Representative from Rhode Island (January 1995-January 2011)
    Democrat

Why he might be annoying:

    He admitted to snorting cocaine as a teenager.
    He was caught on videotape pushing a guard at Los Angeles International Airport (March, 2000)
    After an argument, his distraught girlfriend called the Coast Guard to be rescued from his yacht (August, 2000).
    He told a Young Democrats rally, ‘I don't need Bush's tax cuts. I have never worked a fucking day in my life' (June, 2003).
    At 2:45 AM he crashed his car into a barricade outside Capitol Hill (May 4, 2006).
    Although he was disoriented and staggering, police drove him home without administering a sobriety test.
    Employees at the Hawk and Dove bar said he had been drinking there earlier in the evening.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He became the youngest Kennedy elected to political office when he was elected to the Rhode Island State Assembly at age 21.
    He apologized to the LAX guard, admitting he ‘acted rudely.'
    After the car accident, he said he had been disorientated from the prescription painkiller Ambien.
    He insists he never asked for preferential treatment from the police.
    After pleading guilty to driving under the influence of prescription drugs, he was placed on a court-ordered program that included weekly urine tests, twice weekly meetings with a probation officer and a weekly meeting of recovering addicts.
