Celebrity Justice
You Might Be a Redneck If You're Busted for Pot

Comedian Ron White, who performed with Jeff Foxworthy in the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, was busted today. Once again, they caught Tater Salad.

Vero Beach FL cops took the funnyman into custody for possession of marijuana, under 20 grams. He was also booked on possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was released after posting a $1,000 bond and is presumed to be wearing a wife-beater and cutoff jeans.

91. Geez, I'll bet that really queered his buzz. What a frickin' joke, that with all the horrible issues this country is facing, and on the anniversary of 9/11, they would bust Tater for a little bud. The laws need to be changed, ASAP! Write your Congresspersons and Representatives! I'll burn one for you, Ron, and know you'll make a buttload of money using this experience in your comedy act!

93. This is to "ABLKGIRL"
Piss, piss, whine, whine, moan, moan. Get over yourself. Don't waste your energy being mad at things that didn't even happen. And I don't care if it was Barack Obama, Morgan Freeman, or Snoop Dog - smoking weed is no big deal wether you are black, white, yellow or polka dot. I think everybody who's for weed and commented here today would feel the same way if it was a black man who was nabbed with the stuff. Guess you didn't have anything else to be mad about today. Get a life honey.

94. You should spend more time in Colorado - come see your sister and I promise this won't happen. Florida is just a wee bit too close to Georgia for comfort. Love ya.

98. Bottom line, pot will NEVER be legal for one reason only, the government would not be able to control it 100%, unlike alcohol and cigs, weed is to easily grown in a spare closet by me, your mom, and everyone else, there is no way to keep track and no way to tax it, but alcohol and gigs tend to be a little more high tech when it comes to production, sure I can make wine in my bathtub but will anyone be calling me at odd hours trying "To Score" probably not

99. I heard the part about an "anonymous tipster" too. It's obvious who that was. And anyone who cares to delve a little deeper will be able to figure out who is responsible for tipping off authorties that this big bad drug lord named Tater Salad was about to invade Vero Beach.with massive quantities of illegal substances. Someone's apparently got a little too much time on their hands these days. Give me a break. And get a life, loser. The word "disgruntled" comes to mind...

100. I'm Ron's younger sister, and I find it unbelievable that the tax payers' resources are being wasted in such an inefficient manner. He was caught with less than three grams of pot - meanwhile, there are felons roaming the streets who are actually a danger to society. Yes, we drink. Yes, we smoke... this harms no one but ourselves.

The "anonymous tip" which led to Ron's arrest was made by a previous employee who is obviously disgruntled and has nothing better to do with his time than to see how much chaos he can stir up in Ron's life. If this particular person is depending on his personality for his next paycheck, something tells me he'll be eating with food stamps soon. My biggest hope is that karma reams him exactly where he deserves it.

And for the record: Never in my life have I seen Ron wear a wife beater, even in his spare lounging time, and he wouldn't be caught dead wearing cut off shorts. If TMZ was going for a punch line, I think they missed the bar on that one.

I am also highly amused that the majority of Ron's critics don't even know how to spell the word "Tater." Before you start judging people, why don't you go ahead and check into that "reading" thing. I hear it's really cool in China.

101. What kind of person would alert the police that someone is going to be landing at a private airport with a small amount of pot? Obviously someone who has it out for Ron. TMZ should look into who that person was and what their motives were. Check out their closet and see the skeletons that come FLYING out...

102. To Shea White - If you are really Ron's sister, tell him my husband and I LOVE his humor and had the privilege of seeing him at the Buell Theater in Denver several months ago. Jo

103. What I LOVE (besides Tater) is that the 'tipster' who tried to make him look bad by setting up this bust was throwing a poisonous BOOMERANG! Yeah for stupid people f*cking themselves! If you don't baby, no one will.

104. I think it is amazing that there are actually readers of TMZ who don't get how they "report" news: they write it for entertainment, too. Thus the comments from people actually believing that the man was wearing a wife-beater and cut offs. Geez... all you have to do is look at the booking photo right there by the article to tell he had on some type of dark, collared shirt. Which puts in doubt the "Davy Dukes," too, dontcha think?

105. Wow, I love me some Ron White, and we all know that the man loves to drink...but, I paid good money to see him perform in Norfolk VA, and the man was so drunk/high he forgot his jokes and stopped mid sentence several times, completely forgetting what he was talking about. I wanted my money back; perhaps this man has some real issues and should get some help.
