John Kerry Supports Busted Daughter

Posted Nov 19th 2009 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

John KerrySenator John Kerry is on his daughter's team over her DUI arrest this morning in L.A. But he seems to ignore an important fact -- cops claim she was impaired and that's why they busted her.

The Senator points out that Alexandra blew under California's legal limit of .08. He also says she was not pulled over for drunk driving but rather expired tags.

Kerry's rep says, "Senator Kerry supports his daughter and will have no further comment on a private matter."

But here's the deal. The Senator didn't mention Alexandra flunked the field sobriety test and that's why cops arrested her. Also in California, you don't need a .08 to be driving under the influence. A sip of wine could do the trick if you can't handle it when you get behind the wheel.

But law enforcement sources tell us it's unlikely prosecutors will file charges.

2. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!! what else did you expect him to say??????

regarding the last line... "will not prosecute under .08".

you definately have very little to report today don't you?

because you said this already.

stop repeating yourself and dont post stories until you have all the facts.

3. "prosecutors are unlikely to file charges." Of course not, Senators from the Boston area can fix any legal problems that involve driving and alcohol. I guess we are not likely to see this mentioned on the nightly news tonight. They would rather spend time on whatever makes Palin look bad.

5. It's a toss up between Kerry and Henry "swine face" Waxman as the ugliest people on the planet. And shocker, they're both liberal commies

7. Ummmm ... she refused to take the "field sobriety" test, she didn't fail it. You probably ought to get your facts straight. In fact, there is no passing of failing such a test and are therefore not required by law. She was arrested because the cops merely smelled alcohol on her breath. The City Attorney will not be filing any charges against her.

11. Stupid Sheriff, It would have been cheaper on the county ,just to
take her home.That's Kerry daughter, they are not held accountable
for any Law that they break.Now the Sheriff has to pay to get her car
out of storage and return it to her.Plus the cost of getting her
home.And don't forget the laundry bill to have her dress
done..geeesh,,,LOL

12. funny how in the very democratic state of California, you get a DUI, go to jail, say your kerry's daughter and all of a sudden you aren't drunk anymore. Ever hear of a field sobriety check - they do the breathalizer before they arrest you, but I suppose she didn't think to tell that officer she was kerry's daughter. Perhaps she wasn't sober enough then to think of it.

13. Can you imagine if this happened to Bristol Palin? 24 X 7 news coverage on all the mainstream liberal networks!!!!

Posted at 5:52PM on Nov 19th 2009 by MNike

14. Atcually she didn't fail the field sobriety test. She refused to take one, that's why she got arrested. make something out of nothing TMZ. And if Bristol got arrested, yes it would be a bigger deal only because she's underage DUH!!! this lady is 36 yrs old.

15. Why wasen't the reason she was pulled over reckless driving? The cops saw someone driving erratically but stopped her for expired tags.

Anyone else would have taken the blood test and when the result was under the legal limit they would have been ticketed for the registration and set free.

I am begining to think that the corruption in the courts in California has spread to the cops.

Wonder how many violent crime complaints the cops got while they were postering with a senators daughter.
