Drunk mom Maria Elena Andres with kids in car leads cops on 100 mph chase
Arrested: Police photo of Maria Elena Andres, 30, just before she was detained

Is there something in the water in the Beaver State? From the Oregonian -- our new favorite online publication since it neglected to report that one of its editors died having extramarital sex -- comes another disturbing story about a drunken mom who led police on a 100 mph chase for 20 miles along Interstate 5 before her capture.

When police stopped Maria Elena Andres using a tire-flattening device, they were horrified to discover that the allegedly sloshed speed demon had her 4-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter in the back seat. In the understatement of the day, Portland radio host Lars Larson tweets, \"I think she's out of the running for Mother of the Year.\"

What do you think about this speeding mom?
