![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
"Howard Stern Show" funnyman Artie Lange has been open about his battles with drugs and alcohol -- so when he says he wasn't drunk the day he was busted for DUI, we tend to believe him.
Artie proclaimed his innocence during today's show on Sirius. He explained that he was on his way to pick up a prescription for his sick mother when, as we first reported, he rear-ended another car.
Lange said he blew a 0.0 on his Breathalyzer and passed every test the officer gave him -- he said he doesn't know what part he failed.
Lange was charged with driving under the influence and is due back in court on Thursday,

So he blew a 0.0. Not a big deal even if it's true. It's driving while under the influence, not just driving drunk. So instead of booze, it was drugs that were the influence. I don't know what he was blowing before, but he's clearly blowing smoke now.

There must have been a reading portion of the test.

"Cops tells us Artie was driving a 2009 Nissan Sentra when he rear-ended a 2004 Pontiac. He was charged with DUI and careless driving."
Artie was driving a Sentra because he crashed his Mercedes a few weeks ago driving on heroin. This crash didnt make the news....

So Artie blew and came up with a zero-point-zero. Same thing happened to the radio show that took the place of the Howard Stern show when it went satellite radio.
