I agree that the media loves self-destructing celebrites more than anything else. I get the impression that they look at the Charlie Sheen case more as a SNL skit rather than someone who needs some serious help. It's the Left that are supposed to be compassionate, not us Conservatives. We're mean. While Charlie's problems are self-induced, that doesn't mean his family and those close to him shouldn't at least try to help him. I don't think anyone is doing that right now.

RUSH: Back in the days before the French Revolution, the aristocrats, the elites of the day, you know what they would do to amuse themselves? They went to the insane asylums throughout the country. The aristocrats and the elites went to places like Charenton and other lunatic asylums to observe the wackos and to be amused by them. Today they simply interview Charlie Sheen. He goes home today and he finds his kids are gone. They took away his kids. His publicist has left. I see this guy being interviewed on TV and he makes a lot more sense than some of the interviewers do. No, I'm not defending Charlie Sheen. I'm just fascinated by how it's a story. It really is, the media is doing this just to amuse themselves. I mean people love looking at a human train wreck. Oh, and this guy's willing to climb into the engineer's chair each and every day and head on down the lunatic tracks and take with him whoever wants to go along and chronicle it. I really am stunned as I think about this peace prize being offered on the come. Nothing's real. Nothing makes any sense.
