> [@DMark](#): > > And just to let you know he is an equal opportunity, obnoxious, asshole drunk, I too have witnessed him in LA coming into Gay bars and just grabbing crotches at random and stumbling around until bouncers toss him out. He was 86’d (banned) from several Gay bars in West Hollywood. That looks to be precisely what he was busted for this time. From the updated link in my first post: > [@](#): > > Dick was taken into custody around 4 a.m. after two men accused Dick of groping them at Rum Runners, at 819 3rd Ave. According to a press release issued at 12:26 p.m. Saturday from the Huntington Police Department, officers responded to a call to investigate “two alleged incidents of a patron engaging in non-consensual sexual contact with a bar employee and another patron.” ---

That was sort of the point of the show, it was a spoof of Apprentice and the like, I’m not sure it makes sense to hold his schtick against him. Not that there isn’t enough evidence that he’s an ass IRL without that. ---

First, I thought that was a reference to his being on “I’m With Busey” where the main guy tried to hang with Andy as his mentee. I did not care for that & I was a definite fan of the few eps of “I’m With Busey” that I did see & that focused on Gary Busey. ---

I’ve always found him creepy to the extreme. I hope he not only goes to jail or prison, but one where the crime was committed- West Virginia! You got a real purty mouth, Andy! ---

And the owner of the Funny Bone posted his bail and the show will go on tonight. He also says they were only in the bar for 10 minutes, and Dick didn’t have a chance to grope anyone. I live in Huntington, so it’s all over the place here. One of my friends even says she was there! ---

> [@wedgehed](#): > > I thought Lovitz had already punched him out on several occasions. > > Doesn’t Lovitz hold him responsible for getting Phil Hartman’s wife back on drugs, resulting in Phil’s murder & her suicide? That’s the story Lovitz tells, (supposedly, Dick actually sarcastically joked/bragged about giving Hartman’s wife coke, after she had been sober for a few years) and Andy Dick was also with David Strickland (from the TV series Suddenly Susan) who hung himself in a Vegas hotel room after spending the weekend drinking and drugging with A.D. I didnt realise that this current arrest was in West Virginia—hopefully the W.V. courts wont be as forgiving of Dick as the California courts have been… ---

Yeah, there are not very many people I would wish a lengthy prison sentence on, but by all accounts Andy Dick has it coming to him in spades. ---

The guy was a “dick” on a TV show, and you’ve seen bad things said about him on the internet\*… _so you hope he goes to prison?!?!?!_ …Whether guilty or \*not!!! \* Wow. Tough crowd. Please do not ever sit on any juries. Thank you, The Mgmt. \*Perhaps you have met him in person; even so–that would still be a pretty harsh reaction. ---
