Good on him, I say.

Idiot for DUI, but takes his punishment like a man. No doubt he could have whined and cried like the majority of hollywood for a different sentence.

Really???

He probably was informed by his PR people to keep quiet about this, serve the time, and months from now a good percentage of America will forget that he's a lousy drunk. Others didn't do as good a job because they brought too much attention to themselves for people to ever forget.

Well if your wife was murdered by a coworker, had you daughter kidnapped about 7 times, addicted to heroin in Mexico and tortured by the chinese for an entire year you'd probably hit the bottle pretty hard too.

In all seriousness I hope this experience either smartens him up or provides him the help he needs.

Having never seen a single episode of 24, you confused the heck out of me.

Hey, if this was Canada he'd be all like: "But my grandfather was Tommy Douglas!" and then we'd give him a medal.

So, it's his second arrest for DUI and he got 30 days in prison, with the extra 18 for violating probation? Wow. I suppose we should all commend him for being so upstanding and not complaining about his sentence.
