When you're young, you have to worry about getting caught drinking by your parents...and when you grow up, you have to worry about your parents drinking and driving. The worry never ends.

Laws are for suckers. They don't apply to big shots like Walter.

Actually I wonder what his drink of choice is? I'm sure he will be having it tonight!

When will local or national celebrities, hollywood, local news, sports stars or otherwise learn to fucking take a cab or hire a driver. Jesus, they've got the money.

Uh, that photo sure doesn't show that he's innocent. It shows that he is DEMOLISHED. Look at those eyes!

This should come as no surprise to anyone who works in the media. There have been all kinds of stories of his drinking problems for ages.

I think they're going to go for "you can't prove he was driving." He wasn't in the car at the time of the arrest.

I'd say the combination of a BAC of .092, a fucked up front bumper that corroborates the eyewitness account of a crash, a prior record of the same crime, and an eyes-glassy-as-fuck mugshot is enough proof of his guilt for me. Case closed.

Great translation, L Stolpman, though, of course, innocent until proven guilty, even for TV sleazebags.

I like how the attorney says: "Our investigation to this point shows that Walter hasn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident. He wasn't driving a car while under the influence." with the subtle implication of this: "Our investigation to this point shows that Walter hasn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident therefore, he wasn't driving a car while under the influence and even if he was, who cares because he didn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident." Nice!
