Real news for Stewart: Wife arrested
Jon Stewart could be forgiven if he arrived a little late to yesterday's taping of "The Daily Show." He was busy getting his wife, Tracey McShane, out of jail. The normally wisecracking comic looked understandably anxious as he waited while his handcuffed sweetheart spent close to five hours being booked for driving with a suspended license.
McShane, 36, was driving through Central Park around 11 a.m. when she was pulled over for a moving violation, police confirmed to us.
Stewart's spokesman, Matt Labov, said: "She wasn't speeding. But the police discovered that she had a suspended license. She didn't even realize it. She paid a ticket last week. But apparently her check hadn't been processed."
Following procedure, cops impounded her car, cuffed her, loaded her into a squad car and took her to Central Booking.
There, police sources said, she was fingerprinted, posed for a mug shot and held while cops checked to see if there were any outstanding warrants for the arrest of the mother of 8-month-old Nathan Stewart....(excerpt)
How can one not know that one's license to drive has been suspended? Isn't that a bit like leaving the house without shoes, on and then being pulled over for being barefoot, only to be astonished at the lack of shoes?
Book her...Danno!
>>>How can one not know that one's license to drive has been suspended?<<<
If one is a celeb, or married to a celeb, the rules don't apply therefore one need not know or care that one's license has been suspended!
Seems a little extreme for a suspended license. Geez, about a third of the people driving around our dusty little central valley town don't even have licenses.
For a license violation?
RIDICULOUS!
Oh not THAT bad . . .
C'mon now, I'm no big fan of Jon Stewart but capping on his wife's looks is a but much. Especially when it's such a lousy picture that she could be a fox and you couldn't tell with that shot.
Forklift?
Jon "Stewart"'s wife Tracey "MCShane"? Not even a hyphen now?
Jon Stewart and his wife, Tracy, celebrate at the Governor's Ball after the Emmy Awards. His show "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" won for both outstanding writing for a variety, music or comedy program and outstanding variety, music and comedy series.
Why, don't you know who I am? Licenses are for the rabble.
...Maybe, but if I was a cop and knew she was married to Jon Steward I'd have Rodney Kinged her for plain stupidity if nothing else!
SHE'S A MENACE TO SOCIETY! But hey, at least the cops weren't PROFILING!
So no it's not suprising at all this happened.
I guess you've never kept a car in New York.
Once we received a threatening summons for an unpaid parking fine. We called and a clerk explained that the ticket had "probably blown off the windshield." She suggested that in the future we call periodically to check on citations.
She had an unpaid ticket. Actually, she paid it, but the check hasn't cleared. Voila...handcuffs. Glad the cops are going after the heavy hitters.
Mourning the loss of the Orange Gates?
Trolling?
Just left Rather's penthouse?
Refused to watch her husband on Comedy Central at 11 PM, evidently.
Where was Jon? Inquiring minds don't want to know......
yeah,...sorry she didn't do something that landed her downtown,...I've heard that whatever you've been wearing,...well, just burn 'em
