Puts the MSP airport arrest in some context. This was from a broadcast last month; the clip and a blog posting below pretty much sums it up:

There was a lot of chatter on social media on Saturday, when people started to wonder what the hell was wrong with Fox News Anchor Gregg Jarrett?

Many were posting that Jarrett was not sounding normal during his FNC shifts at 2:30pm, 4:30pm and 6pm.

At 6pm he sounded real bad, was talking slower and slurring his words.

Around 6:40pm he left the show and was never back on with co-anchor Arthel Neville.

Arthel Neville never mentioned if Gregg was sick and had to leave early.

Fox News has also not commented on what happened.

1. Easy. Either drunk or on drugs. In other words, typical TeaPublican.

12. Ordinarily, I'd suspect a stroke

but nah, he sounded more like he had his pockets full of minis. If I had to lie like that to keep a job, I'd probably have to do it smashed, too.

4. Look at Joe from Morning Joe today he looks horrible

[Loudly]

5. He's taking nips to steady his nerves.

And he thinks nobody can tell.

6. Court TV

He seemed decent on Court TV in the late 90s. But his crazy right wing statements in the last 10 years were kind of shocking. 911 turned a lot of these folks batty. And it's a shame because we have been lied to about much of it.

9. Make-up did their best

Not much you can do with those bloodshot eyes though.

[Warpy]

13. Uh, Visine

Most people in showbiz are dependent on the stuff. Gets rid of roadmap eyes quickly.

7. Fox anchor Gregg Jarrett jailed briefly after incident in MSP airport bar

Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett was jailed Wednesday after being arrested in a bar at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.

Jarrett, who is a weekend co-anchor on the FOX News Channel, was arrested about 12:30 p.m. at Northern Lights Grill in the main terminal, said Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission.

Jarrett was released from custody shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday after a $300 bond was posted, according to Hennepin County Sheriff's Office records. The records show he's due in court on June 6.

Police had been called about an intoxicated man at the grill. Officers reported Jarrett refused to follow orders and was arrested for obstruction of the legal process and taken to jail.

8. Let's have some sympathy

After all, how would YOU like to be told you can have a nice well-paid cushy job, but to retain it, you have to read from texts you know are total BS, act like a total right wing tool in front of millions of viewers, and have your country, a quarter of which thinks this is wonderful, think you're a complete maniac.

After ten years of that, I think I'd crack, too.

17. There's a word for choosing to do the wrong thing for money.

I know your request for sympathy was made in jest so I'll just play along. Answer: It's a name I call all Fox "personalities".

[Botany]

10. All threads need a picture

[KansDem]

14. Maybe he's been slipping out across the street for margaritas with Pat and Vanna?

[The Wizard]

15. How come these nut bags

get in trouble at the Minneapolis-St.Paul Airport? Maybe he was just barfing in the mens room.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. "You're gonna make it after all" applies for tapping feet in stalls and being shitcanned.

[zebonaut]

18. He's a drug addled drunk
