Celebrities busted for DUIs:

This seems an all too easy target to write about. Celebrities in Hollywood, and other celebrities, especially in the sports news, seem to get arrested for drinking under the influence more often than a baby is born in this country. They may not always get the punishment another person, with a non-celebrity status would, but they do seem to keep going. I guess they take a thirty day leave to a fancy rehab, usually and it looks as if their career blooms. They become the hero who overcame his/hers addiction, only to find they are off the wagon later in their lives, a couple of months down the road.

Well, you want them, you got them:

*Daniel Dae Kim- Lost-arrested on last December 27th

The list continues, mostly in repeats of the same offenders. They keep drinking and driving, or using the illegal drugs they keep in their possession. In the end celebrities do get priority over their crimes. Most never see much jail time, if any. And they seem to not care if they get caught or not. It is just a sad state of what we all keep up with in this country, when we spend out time checking on other's mistakes.
