One of my favorite comedians is in trouble once again. I love love love Artie Lange for so many reasons. I can't say I'm surprised he got a DUI, but whatevs.

Get Some Help, Artie Lange!
Fri., Jul. 10, 2009 3:30 PM PDT
This is getting too serious for our taste.
Funnyman Artie Lange, whose heaviness, history of drug
abuse and overall mental health are constant fodder for some
unfortunately hilarious banter on The Howard Stern Show, was
busted Friday on suspicion of DUI after being involved in a
fender-bender in New Jersey.
Police found no indication that Lange was "under the influence
of illicit drugs" when his 2009 Nissan rear-ended another
vehicle, Toms River Police Capt. Steve Henry told the Asbury
Park Press.
But the officer who responded to the report of a minor traffic
collision at around 1:30 p.m. determined that Lange was under
the influence of something. After he was taken into custody, a
sample of one fluid or another was taken at the police station
and sent off to the lab for analysis.
Meanwhile, Lange has been charged with driving under the
influence of an intoxicant and careless driving. He was issued a
court summons for July 16 and sent on his way.
Lange was "100 percent cooperative," Henry said.
That's all well and good, but maybe this will finally be the
misstep that gets Lange into the more intensive rehab he seems
to really, really need.
And what will Howard and Robin say about this on Monday?
