she will go to celebrity rehab and hit the daytime tv circuit with a sob story and her promist those days are over...and it could be weeks..or months..before she screws up again

It doesn't seem that Judge Felts got as much media attention when he got busted backing into a cop car drunk in Indy did it?

WTF? That's not justice... the media let me down!

Do an expose' on all judges boo boo's and I'll watch.

"My use of racially insensitive language is reprehensible, incomprehensible and regrettable," said Cofield, 60, who attributed her insults "to my intoxicated condition, as I am not a racist."

I always want to smack people who say their words or actions were attributed to their intoxicated condition. Alcohol does not change your opinions. It only makes you more likely to express them.

I suppose there are a whole gamut of fleeting thoughts and feelings that come to the surface when someone is intoxicated... I wouldn't necessarily give them the respect of fully formed "opinions", but what the hey... 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

While I'm not a doctor on the subject, I have done significant study.

I don't buy her explanation that she's NOT a racist, and it's as plain as day. The really F'd up thing is that she's (at least partially) black, and her anger (from what I read) was entirely directed at black officers, etc. Poor gal seems caught in the middle between elitist, self-righteous, and politician. Sooooooo typical.

Yeah, good point. I would guess that Michael Phelps was able to form opinions better in his condition than this judge.

Should we put it up to a vote? Poll anyone?

I can't remember the last time I've seen someone high with an 800 lb. belligerent racist monkey on their back. Drunks? hehe.
