How many times does this need to happen, people?

FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt was placed on a leave of absence Monday and U.S. officials said his employment is under review following his arrest for drunken driving in suburban Northern Virginia.

Babbitt, 65, was charged with driving while intoxicated after a patrol officer spotted him driving on the wrong side of the street and pulled him over about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Fairfax City, Va., police in the Washington, D.C., suburb.

Considering that a DUI pretty much means the end to a lot of different careers now, I'd be surprised if Babbitt comes back to work.*

Too bad for him that he wasn't a congressman or a senator. Then it'd be no big deal to have a moral slip like that. After all, Diaper Dave is still in the Senate.

But really, folks, it's been something like 25 years since the cops started cracking down on driving while intoxicated. At what point do you just roll your eyes and say: "Jeez, what the hell is wrong with that guy?"
