They say that cocaine is a hell of a drug, and Charlie Sheen is doing a damned fine job of proving just how completely destructive it can be, but seriously, did he really think we were stupid enough to believe that his rehab was so exhaustive that he needed a break in the Bahamas with his ex-wife (herself a 'recovering' addict), their kid's nanny and a porn star? I mean really, what could possibly go wrong there? Jeebus Charlie, we aren't all as stoned as you are, reality isn't an abstract concept and we know bullshit when we hear it.
I think we all know that Charlie Sheen has been having a rough go of it lately. Poor bastard had to suffer the ignominy of having the details of his sordid 36-hour coke-and-whore party splashed all over the tabloids by the very women he had paid to keep things a secret. I too am totally suprised that a whore would do something like that. For money. I mean, isn't there a Hooker Code or something? Anyway, then he gets criticised for doing rehab at his home, as if that wasn't de rigeur for every other recovering alcoholic coke-fiend, and now, everyone gets all steamed because he went on a rant that was broadcast over the radio accusing the show's producer of basically being a lazy, lying, manipulative jew.
Look Charlie, I am pretty sure that most of us can forgive you the occasional transgression, I mean hey, who hasn't woken up in a dingy motel room with a stinging hangover, an empty wallet and the vague taste of ass in their mouths, but calling your boss out on the radio, and suggesting that he would be nothing without you is really not playing by the rules. It's also not very bright. CBS has decided to shelve the rest of this season completely, and next year will all depend on whether Charlie can ever get sober enough to play himself on the telly again. So congratulations you schmuck, you managed to kill the golden goose, not just for you but the 200 other people that worked on that show as well. The difference between them and you? They'll still be able to find work in Hollywood come Monday morning. You, not so much.
Speaking of schmucks, George W. Bush was scheduled to give a speech at an event this coming weekend (if by 'give a speech' you mean 'read a serious of uncomplicated words, written by someone else, from a teleprompter), but cancelled at the last minute because Julian Assange of Wikileaks fame is also scheduled to speak. Dubya's spokesperson said the reason for the sudden cancellation was because "the former president has no desire to share a forum with a man who has willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States." Seems to me that description could be applied to either man, although in fairness only one of them ever started a war against entirely the wrong country.
Neither the ex-pretzeldunce nor his press officer appear to grasp the concept of irony. Not surprising really.
Have a great weekend all!
