Skittles? She's lucky she wasn't shot dead the first time.

Yeah I'd probably be a drunk too if I realized that I was a slave whore to corporate media, and could never actually report real news outside of the list of 'talking points' allowed.

She buys a bottle of wine and can't even wait to get home to drink it, much less even get out of the store's parking lot? That's sad. And she had the type of job that most people can only dream of.

Hopefully she'll be able to get the help she needs and rebuild her life.

Sigh. I imagine she worked hard to earn her place in her career field, only to piss it all away on booze. Wonder what personal demons she's trying to drown.

Egalitarian:
I have to drive the Interstate a lot and get bored so I pay attention to cars around me. When I switched from driving a large expensive-brand (used) wagon to a cheaper (new) hatchback, I suddenly found a lot more people getting up on my ass. I generally drive 5-10 mph over the limit so it's not like I'm being a turtle.


If you are in the left lane, you are a turtle. If you've got someone on your ass, move over to the right!

She must've been really out of it.
I've inhibitetedly purchased beer early in the morning (and at every other time of day) many times. As far as I know, I've never had the cops called on me.
Was she being rude? That'll get you every time...

Many people, many alcoholics even, would like there to be some personal failure or tragedy as the source, but sometimes Alcoholism is the problem, and not a symptom.

Been there, done that. 8 years sober.

7 1/2 myself. Some of us are just born drunks I think. I'm sure I have some personal problems but loads of people do and they don't down a fifth and a half a day for a decade. I liked being the bad boy and being messed up from an early age. I just always liked it I'm not sure why.

She just saved the network brass a lot of grief. Now they can make the cute 23-year-old reporter the new anchor without worrying about an age discrimination lawsuit.




/Understands the pain of being aged out in the news business.

Want to know how I know the Subby is a Farkette?
If you pay attention you'll notice if a news articles involve a male offender then it have a Dumbass tag. If it's a female offender then it get a Sad or Interesting tag.

The way I see it, a Dumbass is a Dumbass, regardless of the gender.

spentmiles: 2009 arrest:

"Police received a complaint about 9:30 a.m. Monday from a driver who noticed a sport utility vehicle swerving near West Jefferson Boulevard and Getz Road."

2012 arrest:

"Frank smelled of alcohol, and her behavior made a store clerk concerned, according to court documents."

Seems like this lady wouldn't have a problem if people would just mind their own damn business. I'm sure her being a minor celebrity while people live their shiat lives and work their shiat jobs really rubs some folks the wrong way. Mary is obviously a hard core alcoholic, which is entirely her business, so these .14s aren't affecting her as they would a lightweight. Just leave her the fark alone and quit being jealous.

Countdown to irate farker in 3, 2, 1 ...

She's 45 and beginning to look it. She's gotten herself two DWIs. Can anyone say career ender?

dkimball: .14 is nearly twice .08? What math universe do news people come from?

.08 x 2 = .16

The difference between .14 and .16 is less than 15%. That counts as 'nearly' in my book.

I figured Grable's Daughter would get caught sooner or later.
