(Newser) – Former ABC News fixture Sam Donaldson faces DUI charges in Delaware, reports TMZ. Police pulled over the 78-year-old for a traffic violation about 8pm on Dec. 1 and say he failed sobriety tests, reports AP. He was about 100 miles away from his home in McLean, Va., at the time. Police say he was cooperative during the arrest, after which he was released into someone else's custody.

Heard Sam Donaldson give a talk one time, ad-lib. He came off as an arrogant buffoon. Glad he didn't kill any one.

Well, ABC does stand for Always Been Crocked.  (It also stands for a boat-load of other things too... but I won't be able to list them on here).
