If shouting "Google me!" in a crowded bar is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Now I like her even more than I already did.

You seriously linked to a reddit post where people are just saying nasty, conflicting unfounded things about her, calling her a bitch and a cunt? Is this to make up for getting scooped on this shitty piece of news by the willamette week? This is one of the most classless things I've seen a "newspaper" do. You should seriously be ashamed.

^ classless is screaming "google me!". Bitch needs to google Jenny Craig.

I would also like to know what brand of eyeliner can withstand a night like that. Mine barely survives an average day at my desk. She may be a bitch but she's a bitch with eyeliner skills.

@claudiabell: If linking to Reddit is the worst thing you've ever seen the Merc do, you're clearly not paying attention.

Hey investigative journalism Merc, inquiring minds want to know: How much does an arrest and prosecution of this or any individual cost verses calling Chiers or asking friends to take the person home? Police division, let's be efficient with scarce dollars. And Merc you can do better than Rupert.

Reddit account of the night's events posted by JizzPoweredSteamboat. Seems like an accurate impartial source of information to me, maybe you guys can get a followup from Reddit user ShitCoveredTractor.

Best comment on reddit: on a lighter note, her eyeliner really stayed the course through all the supposed tumult

More inquiring minds want to know why an adult can't hold her booze, and why it's anyone's fault but her own for getting arrested.

Reddit is not inherently evil, you guys. It's just a forum where assholes and nice people can both post whatever they want. It counts as just as much of an eyewitness statement as any eyewitness statement -- which means, yeah, take things with a grain of salt.

Either way, she got arrested, which probably meant that she WAS being an asshole when police found her, and that's about all that matters to me.

SOMEONE GET ON THIS DEVELOPING EYELINER STORY! People demand to know how she keeps that stuff on so well.

I also want to know about the eyeliner. See also: mascara

Okay, so Mrs. Cat & Beard knows a thing or two about cosmetics. She made an educated guess and says it's Maybelline Eye Studio gel eyeliner. Or that product would be capable of standing up to that treatment.

Come on. If you drink, you know that you've had at least ONE crazy night. The only difference is you're untalented, and nobody cares about you. The time that I was on top of my car with my tits out screaming could have been broadcast on the internet, but it wasn't. Also, WE GET IT SHE'S FAT.

@ursula: You should seriously consider seeking therapy if you're writing your comments from the top of your car while topless.

HEY EVERYONE SAYING AWFUL THINGS ABOUT HER: FUCK YOU, SHE'S FLAWLESS.

Damn, Beth. Damn.

Good thing we know when she's being arraigned!

(Is it possible that too much attention has already been given to this story?)

She's very large and that is unhealthy and probably quite smelly in the summer.

Those eyebrows make her look like a Mexican teenager. And that rules. More women should shave off their eyebrows only to draw them back in. That's a good look. Totally.

She's fucking mega hot........

Espescially all tore up. Who'd thunk?

If she'd yelled "Bing me!" I'd guess it was Microsoft black-ops marketing.

If you're a queer activist you can get away with a lot more in this town. Usually when I'm stealing from stores I mention on my way out that I'm a queer activist.

Entertainment Weekly picked up on the "queer activist" thing too, though they said "LGBT." What does that have to do with anything? Are you trying to implicate lesbianism in being obnoxiously drunk? Been to Old Town on a weekend lately?
