This is a private matter concerning only the Lugar family and law enforcement and the owner of the hit car. Everybody else should butt out.

DUI!!!??? Oh my GOD!!!! The crime of the century!
.
In unison now... let's all gasp and squeal as to how dangerous a DUI is. Then let's put on our "I support the troops" t-shirts and demand more bombings of the mud huts in Afghanistan.
.
After all... we Murkans have to have our priorities in order.

She is embarrassed about the accident? what accident?, she commited a crime!! she should be jailed.

When you compare the 2 pictures, they almost look alike. Is the second picture Richard in drag? Regardless, this women needs help and she won't get it until she is driving drunk and kills someone or herself. Didn't Laura Bush hit someone with her car years ago? Anyone remember this? I think I read it somewhere. (If this comment doesn't end up on the cutting room floor it will be surprising) Richard Lugar and Charlene Lugar won't miss a beat, they will just continue to live as usual and the press will make this story go away,especially FOX

They should call little Bush & Cheney-they get most of these "fixed"....

COME-ON! How much damage to a parked car can a broom do?

So, basically, she wouldn't have been charged with all this if there had been no signs of an accident. I mean, c'mon, it's pretty obvious that the police were put in a tight position here, and were forced to do something once they realized she committed a hit-and-run. I wonder how many political elites get out of DUI's. Unfortunately, I bet there are a lot. Frickin corruption. Also, I bet the cop was nervous as hell and pooped a brick when he/she found out exactly who she was and then felt forced to proceed with the charges (or when he received the okay from his/her supervisor).
