Lakers owner Jerry Buss joined the ever-growing list of fabulously wealthy people who can afford to have a personal driver but still get behind the wheel after drinking, as he was arrested for suspicion of DUI late Tuesday night.
The 74-year-old Buss was taken into custody shortly before 1 a.m. after he drove his gold Mercedes-Benz station wagon the wrong way on a street… "Although I was driving only a short distance, it was a bad decision and I was wrong to do it," Buss said in a statement issued by the Lakers. "It was a mistake I will not make again."
Well, yeah. Of course he's not going to make the mistake again. He's 74 years old. He may be dead by the time I finish writing this sentence. Still alive? Okay, whatever. He's got, like, a week.
Also of note: an unidentified 23-year-old woman was with Buss in the car when he got arrested. Please God let that be his granddaughter or his secretary. Because any other explanation… ew. Just ew. Old people are gross.

73 AND drunk. And I thought Asian women were bad drivers.
Someone should say that he got Buss-ted….no they shouldnt.
Was the woman Kobe’s wife? Because if it was, that would be the ultimate revenge.
Can we get a picture of said 23 year old?
“Someone should say that he got Buss-ted….no they shouldnt”
I would tell you not to quit your day job, but that sounds like something the assholes that create NY Post headlines come up with.
“gold Mercedes-Benz station wagon” That’s what he drives? Well we all know he owns something gold and purple; it’s real flashy, but really doesn’t go anywhere since there is no “diesel” to run it.
I wonder if he got a gold station wagon to match his gold hair.
i believe the “personal driver” funds were temporarily re-allocated to the aforementioned “unidentified 23 year old woman”
Have we ruled out Joakim Noah yet?
That is a sweet rapist mustache. It would take me 6 months to grow one that nice. Looks like someone is going to get a mustache ride this x-mas!
You know, even though he only drove a short distance, his left turn signal was on the whole time…
I seems unlikely that an “unidentified 23 year old woman” in his car at 1 a.m. would be his secretary or his daughter. Veeerry unlikely.
If it was his secretary, gonna need to get me one of those.
Forget A-Rod – there should have been tabloid pics of this 23 year old posted like… yesterday.
cops also said that Buss was “relatively cooperative” – what the fuck does that mean? Is that code for “he wasn’t completely Mel Gibson-ish”?
Is that the man with the old balls? Ewww.
“This is how Stormin’ Norm Nixxon used to drive!!! Oh… I think I crapped my pants.”
What if he got ‘party plates’? Haha, bitchin.
Grungedave- “Jerry Buss Zero”- now anti-semetic lite!
I miss the good ol’ days when WithLeather topped out at 5 comments per post.
I don’t care what kinda money he makes, you have got to give the guy credit for pulling 23 year old ass in a GOLD STATION WAGON.
All these rich celebrities getting busted for driving drunk. If only there were some sort of business out there, where you give them money and they drive you home.
“”Someone should say that he got Buss-ted….no they shouldnt”"
“I would tell you not to quit your day job, but that sounds like something the assholes that create NY Post headlines come up with.”
Not something like, but exactly like. The Post headline is: BLOTTER: Jerry Buss-ted for DUI
Zing!
Forgot that hyperlinks don’t work here:

I don’t understand why people are suprised by old people doing things like this…
I personally plan to have my respect for the law inversely correlate to my age.
Upon being pulled over, Buss looked at the cop and said, “Fuck you! I’m old! Now get out of my way, this tranny hooker isn’t going to screw, kill and videotape herself!”
good grief, there are some money grubbin’ hos in this world! How in the hell else does an old coot like this even have a 23 year old on his jock?
Weed Against Speed: It must have been Kobe’s wife – that would explain today’s trade demand.
Massive Combover + Sweet Mustache + Station Wagon = Pussy Magnet
It’s that simple.
Estelle Constanza is NOT going to be happy with this development.
Check – should be Costanza.
