It is safe to say that Mr. Conrad has much to be thankful for today.

Ping.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Mr. Conrad ripped the battery from the crumpled Subaru, thrust it upon his shoulder, and dared the accident victim or police to knock it off.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, he is one of my favorite actors.

Think of what would have happened had the young man been killed!

He would have carried the guilt of a senseless death the rest of his life (not to mention probably serving jail time)

"The only thing I'm happy about is that the young man who was a part of this has had a complete recovery," Conrad told reporters.

This remark strikes me as only common decency, but common decency seems to be very uncommon, especially in Hollywood, so give him some credit.

I hope that hollywood drunk paid million$ of his own dollars to the person he assaulted! He deserves no less than to lose for his total self-incopetence.

But knowing these things(drunk hollywierdos) with their good buddy lawyer scumbag and better buddies scumbag lawyer-judges - used the money laundering payout scheme called insurance to shut the victim up with a paltry sum compared to what the lawyers were paid for this travesty of justice.

What can I say....I'm probably not aging well either...

Apart from the Energizer commercials and some mostly forgettable TV movies...

Looks like the author forgot the very good Centennial, the mini-series version of Michener's book of the same title and one of my all-time favorite television events. Shame on him. Conrad was great in the role of the crazy French trapper, Pasquinel.

Palm Springs Weekend. Bob Conrad already did that same scene in Palm Springs Weekend. That movie is notable for having the absolute worst dancer performing in the history of movies---Troy Donahue. It is worth seeing that movie just to see Troy Donahue struggling to dance.

"Oh, Mr. West, you've been very naughty..."

$4,000 in fines and restitution

I hope he pays more damages than that (I suppose the insurance must have). He broke a guy's wrist and ankle, not to mention smashing his car.

When I read the headline, I was hoping it was Kent Conrad, Dem Dakota-Doofus Senator. Nuts.

[em2vn]

The venom is flowing this morning of Thanksgiving.
Conrad has always been known as a stand up guy. He certainly made a serious drunken mistake but his life has been pretty close to the vest. He is a well known conservative and supports conservative causes.
I don't think the state wants to put any 69 year old in jail. The punishment fits the crime.
I work with a lot of guys who drink too much too often and they are as conservative as they come. Alcohol abuses anyone who gives it a chance.

[fat city]

He should have been sentenced to ride the Dodge-ems with Billy Joel, Richard Dreyfus, Kelsey Grammer, Halley Berry...
