I think Jones will take a lot from this. I think Jones will come out strong.

The good thing here is that nobody was hurt. As far as him being a role model and getting a DUI, in my profession I am somewhat of a role model as well. A couple years back I made an error in judgement and got arrested for a DUI as well. Everybody makes mistakes and I truly learned a lesson from my misjudgement, I hope Jones does the same.

Remember Dana saying this when Ross Pearson was arrested on suspicion of DUI earlier this month....

"I'm a realist," White said. "You can't expect all these people to be perfect. I understand they're role models. They're human beings. They're going to make mistakes. I'm one of those guys that believes we're all going to make mistakes – it's how you handle it after you make that mistake that tells you who you really are."

I liked S E's post about DW everybody makes mistakes, but it's how they handle it. Also if you can afford a bently you can afford to pay for a ride home too!
