These are the people who won't let alcolhol be sold in the area Wallyworlds because they are such teetotalers...I mean hypocrites. Note that this is a pattern for this woman. I don't feel very safe on the roads knowing she can drive in any condition with impunity.

JAIL MUGSHOT: Alice Walton
Alice Walton was arrested Friday night in Texas for driving while intoxicated on Interstate 20 in Weatherford, Texas, west of Fort Worth. Friday was her 62nd birthday. She was released on a $1,000 bond.


She was convicted in a DWI case in Springdale in 1998. She was involved in a fatal accident in 1989, but no charges were filed.

The Weatherford Democrat broke the news. Here's the full newspaper account. The report said:

Timing is unfortunate. Walton, daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, is to be part of multiple activities leading up to and including the opening Nov. 11 of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville. The Walton family has given at least $2.4 billion to underwrite the museum.


If I had that much money, I certainly wouldn't look like that on purpose.

1. I wish i had a pair of those glasses from "They Live". This pic is one of the 1st things i'd look at

[They_Live]

10. I resemble that remark

; )

[Ikonoklast]

25. You need the glasses for that? Really?

I need the glasses that make her look more human.

2. Hells Bells!

She is 62 and drunk! How do you expect her to look?

[ThomWV]

3. Well, at least it looks like she dresses off the rack at her own stores.

[WhiteTara]

6. That's what it is. I wonder if she's the clothing buyer for

the store.

4. my wife had to check her chihuahua into a vet clinic

while she was still in grad school, working as a receptionist. She was driving a white hummer, and had a huge diamond pendant on a necklace--- the Republican receptionist she was working with was just frothing over that diamond-

Sadly, out of all his nasty kids, she seems like the most "decent" one, in terms of donations to charities, museums...but, it's probably just for a tax break. That family turned out to be horrible.

[WhiteTara]

5. She killed someone while drunk and she

continues to drive around drunk; I think you may be quite right that it for the tax donations only.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. She wasn't drunk when she killed the woman. She was speeding in a Porsche.

13. does that mean that when she became a murderer

that she turned to alcohol and is now a drunk as well?

[JanMichael]

16. and sadly, I really do think she's the "best" of the

kids of Sam's.

Pathetic lot, aren't they? I don't fault her for drinking; it's probably one of the few ways she can live with herself...but, I damn sure fault her for not staying in one of her mansions, and not driving while she does. Surely to god she could afford to put a bar in her houses, and hire some bartenders and "friends" to hang with.

[WhiteTara]

24. those would be some high paid friends indeed. Oh wait

they're called lobbyists.

[UTUSN]

7. K&R big #5 n/t

[LuvNewcastle]

8. It's nice to see that all that money hasn't

changed her. She doesn't look a bit better than any other aging barfly I've ever met.

11. Leave this "Job Creator" alone

Do you know how many billable hours this is going to generate??

[WhiteTara]

14. lol!

[supernova]

12. Well hey, they arrest her every 10 years

or so just on general principless. What more do you want?

Do I really need the sarcasm tag?

[SOS]

15. An alcoholic with $8 billion of inherited money should hire a driver.

:dunce:

[tosh]

18. +1.

[WhiteTara]

19. Yes, she should. She could be a responsible job creator. n/t

[dana_b]

27. good point! n/t

17. K & R for The Arkansas Times!

Gannett managed to kill off The Arkansas Gazette, (NOT to EVER, EVER be confused with the Democrat-Gazette) a fine publication that had endured in the wilds since 1819. The Arkansas Times is a worthy successor, home to some of the Gazette perpetrators who quaintly insisted on presenting the facts and letting readers decide for themselves.

Reckon I should forgive Max Brantley for ignoring the stolen election in Ohio back in '04?

:evilgrin:

[WhiteTara]

20. No. Stolen elections should never be ignored. It

happened just last cycle with Blanche stuffed the ballot box and Bill Hall lost and we lost the seat.

21. You shouldn't judge a person

until you've driven a mile in their Lamborghini.

No seriously, if you can't afford to buy at least a Porche, your opinion doesn't matter!

22. Is 1% her elite economic status or her blood alcohol level?

(Thank you, I'll be here tomorrow night and at Karl's Komedy Klub all next week!)

[deaniac21]

23. You mean Texas....

[WhiteTara]

26. Does she live there? I thought she was just driving

home from a party several hundred miles away.

I was told by an old timer when she was busted in 98 for DUI she moved her company to Texas. Now that she's been busted in Texas, where will she go? Then he chuckled.

[deaniac21]

28. With that kind of money, she can pretty much go anywhere.
