Ah yes the FAA is very quick to punish midnight shifts across the board with a pre-holiday weekend decision...
Meanwhile Drunkee McGee's personal display of negligence isn't the topic of concern.
comperini:
Since she's been fired, I don't think it was a medical issue. According to this, she's no longer employed

The article says that she no longer works for the FAA. It does not say that she was fired. I highly doubt that she was fired. She worked for the federal government. In the government world of employment it takes time to terminate people. Things just don't happen that quickly.
I worked in law enforcement for 30 years before retiring. I dealt with more than my fair share of drunks. She did not sound drunk. It sounded like a medical issue to me.
She sounds just fine in this earlier clip.
