It Wasn't Me

I'm getting pretty tired of people who exhibit appalling behavior, and when they get busted for it, they say, "It was the alcohol and the drugs." Then they check into rehab and suddenly, they're off the hook. I don't buy it for a minute. When did rehab become a "get out of jail free" card?
The Insider's Pat O'Brien pulled this crap brilliantly last year on a trumped up Dr. Phil show that I needed to take a bath after watching. Guess what, Pat? - a glass of whiskey doesn't call up women and start slurring about cocaine and kinky sex. That was you.
Celebrities, religious leaders, and politicians have been playing this card with more frequency lately. If you're a jerk for six days and you check into rehab on Sunday, it's still a bad week.
