Artie Lange Proclaims DUI Innocence

Artie Lange"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,

18. 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.

24. How can you tell a drug addict-? his mouth is moving--fat ass, get off the show so some real talent can get on..you have nothing to offer except whining and excuse after excuse for your behavior and you think people don't see through you..You need to move on--get into rehab before you kill an innocent human being -stop thinking so much about yourself. You need to do some real soul searching-you have no fans, b------d..you are a looser....face the music...no one cares..NO ONE YOU ARE A TOP NOTCH LOOSER......GET LOST

28. Please, look at the picture. Who thinks Artie can really close his eyes and touch his nose, or turn around on one foot, or whatever they have you do. I bet the weight of his ass and belly tugging at opposite ends of his body makes him look like he's drunk when he walks anyway.....Poor little Nissan Sentra.....I bet it wasn't even Artie's fault. The little car couldn't stop with all that weight.

29. they did not say under the influence of what, did they? he probably should keep his mouth shut, pay his fine, and avoid a bigger problem.
