He wasn't golfing, he was cruising around downtown, including a stop at a nightclub. The place he was staying had the cart on display and he just decided it was his to use.
He also signed a paper admitting he was under the influence. Why are you working so hard to defend this?
Driving a golf cart while mildly intoxicated isn’t the same as driving a sports car while drunk. Standard golf carts have a top speed of 15 mph.
Besides he’s a comic. They are supposed to do zany things. The Marx brothers were stood up for two meeting by producer Irving Thalberg. When he was called away from another meeting and left them waiting for an hour, he returned to find that they had started a fire in his wastebasket and sitting around it naked roasting potatoes on sticks.
Liberal or not Murray is widely known as one of the good guys in Hollywood. He doesn’t take himself so seriously that he won’t talk to the great unwashed and is known to be a great tipper (which to those of in the restaurant business says a lot about what kind of person he is).
Man you are a tight-ass. What does "under the influence" mean Di? One beer? Ten beers? Half a beer? He signed "a paper" admitting he had some alcohol, that's it. The arresting officer admitted he showed no signs of even being tipsy or and other outward signs of drunkeness. And the hotel didn't mind he used the golfcart, plus, as IS STATED in the article, it isn't illegal to drive a cart on the street. Why are you so quick to convict him? Why won't you give an American the benefit of the doubt? No, you subscribe to the same notions as the foreign press.
American = bad news.
