Not only would the punishment be remarkably less harmful to a millionaire athlete... there isn't even punishment.
0% surprised. 100% disappointed. Imagine what the story would be if your average Joe was caught RUNNING AWAY from the scene of a DUI accident.

The penalties for driving drunk are not as "life altering" as you make them out to be. In situations where there are no major injuries and only property damage it's rare to see criminal convictions, especially ones that result in any jail time. From what I read, O'Reilly blew .08, which is a borderline level. The breathelizers are only so certain, which is probably how he got off.
I know multiple friends who've been caught drunk driving and many still retained their licenses. Just for the record, it's not something that I condone in any way. I never drive drunk myself.
