I don't live in the US so I don't know what's becoming the norm; seems there'sz still a lot of biggotry going on. But otherwise, I agree, he's dysfunctional as it gets? He's a celebrity so there's that incredibly vain reaction of love him or hate him going on happening while he should just be ignored. But he loves the attention and as long as they'll give it to him, he'll revel in it. On the other side, the self-rightoeus ones were expecting him tu pull a Tiger Woods like attitude which is even worse in my book.
You see, no one cared about Tiger's apology, because everyone knew it was fake. And I can't stand celebs or government officials who apologize publicly, that shit doesn't fly, they only crying because they got caught---their egos drive them...
Tiger's stupid ass was trying to be a playa when his ass is married and he his high profile, and never tried to cover his tracks...He is the nerdy kid, who never read the Playa's Handbook...
What we also are seeing is how, Celebs carefully crafted "image", is all an illusion, they are not just like you and me, often times, they are worse, except they have more money (ex, Michael Jackson, the addict), so they can afford their vices, for a longer period of time. Whereas a normal person would have crashed and burned. And the celebs revel in that notion. They can fvck up constantly for a longer period of time (Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, etc.) until somebody or they get hurt...
So, I see Charlie's rants for what they are, a emotionally stunted individual who is crying out for attention---which he gets...and this is what his kids will remember him as...
