jign4bass, It is my belief that any person that has a radio or TV show is a community role model. I believe they have an obligation to exhibit role model type standards of behavior. Yes many of these people fail at serving as role models. BTW I belief politicians should also be role models.

@nevergiveup: Interesting. I didn't notice when I registered to comment that my screen name, which is an Inuit name, had "inga" in it. Freudian slip? Anyway, no, not Inga. I am a 40-something male, married, with a wife, a son, a dog, and a hermit crab. I like Bloody Marys and long walks by the beach at sunset. As for you: 4/10. Try harder next time. The best humor has a little intelligence behind it. And as for KGET, I hope you're as eager to publish a follow-up story as you were to get this slanted hit piece out to the world. Or Oildale, anyway.

Im sure inga has never said she is a perfect person,we r all humans and humans make mistakes. People need to think just a little if there brains will allow them to before you throw her under the bus. Some people need to get a life and stop sounding stupid by talking about this. People write stupid crap without even knowing what really happend. If u were not there to witness than how can u make comments about her.

She had an adverse reaction to her prescribed medications. She needed medical attention. She was at the movie theater in the Marketplace on a Wednesday evening. Sometimes the media exaggerates the headline without all the facts. I am thankful that Inga is feeling better, the situation was similar to the surgeon who was in his scrubs and was arrested and handcuffed as he suffered a stroke.....oh my BPD...the lawsuits that we taxpayers are being exposed too....use discernment...get a medical opinion.

@Novalinga: Inga, is that you? Calm down, Killer! Only you would use a fat word like Schzenfreeken. I should write that word down. Amazing vocabulary you have! That image of you flat on your back passed out brings out the szoosefreuder in me. Why should that bother you? You have been scusefording for years on the radio. I have a Black Belt in Sarcasm but that shouldn’t stop you from schentomising. Just go out there and BE GREAT, girl! !

People just love to spout off about things they know nothing about. You can be arrested and charged with ANYTHING. Whether it's factual is another matter. But please, enjoy your Schadenfreude. It must be so delicious.

Oddly enough, I find this hilarious because she happens to live down the street. And it just goes to show that everyone has their slip ups. It's just the more recognized figures who are criticized the worst for it. We are all humans and we all make mistakes. I'm not defending her. I'm just saying, I'm sure we have all had our moments of weakness. It's just that we didn't have it publicized by the media
