LONGVIEW, Texas —A 35-year-old Texas woman has been jailed after police say she made her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar. Police in Longview say they watched a minivan turn into a driveway without signaling on Wednesday and bump into a home at a low speed. They say the car was driven by Jennifer Lynn Rosenberg's daughter. Police say the girl told an officer she had just dropped her mother off at a bar. They say they found Rosenburg at the bar and that she admitted having her daughter drive her there.

Hey, let's give credit to the alcoholic mom here for a second before we throw her in a Texas prison. She did the right thing. She knew she'd be too bombed to drive home so she gave someone else the keys. Granted that someone else happened to be a 12 year old but that's still a Profile in Courage if I ever saw one. They should rename the road after this woman. Seriously though, who would you rather have driving - a hammered 35 year old woman or a (hopefully) sober 12 year old girl? Technically they're both women drivers, but 100 times out of 100 I'll take the one who's not face-down and topless on the bar.
