There will a certain amount of people who are just curious. That isn't a
big deal. People go to ground zero these days just because they want to
say they have been there and to get a vicarious satisfaction that
somehow they have paid their dues. It is just human nature to be curious
about such things. But the man has shown he cannot be trusted and one
has to wonder just how much of his rantings were drug-inspired. He
probably even caused his own deafness as a result of his drug abuse.

This whole thing has shown the moral bankruptcy of the conservative
movement. That no one can actually be trusted to have honesty and
integrity. I suspect that the only reason he announced that he was going
into rehab is that he was confronted by his team and told to get ahead
of the story because otherwise he stood a chance of facing federal
charges and that he could ameliorate his situation somewhat.

I didn't trust him before. I don't trust him now. He is only just a
player and this is just his latest move. He IS to blame for this. He did
this to himself. He should have to pay the penalty like everyone else.
