Disconnected from reality

  I dunno.
  Maybe it's because this particular blog emanates from flyover country, where people work hard and don't generally get screamy over stupid, stupid things. Granted, we're pretty provincial.
  I'd like to believe, however, that most people can see when somebody is really screwed up and disconnected from reality.
  Take, for example, Charlie Sheen.
  What is WRONG with that guy.
  And what happened to the days when people used as an excuse their various addictions to excuse abominable behavior? When you're crazy, you need an excuse like an addiction to _________ to shake responsibility for your bad behavior. You know, the obscene pictures, the drunken brawls, the invectives you shouted about your various enemies, even if your enemies include your audience.
  But no more.
  Now what we do is brag about that.
  Charlie Sheen figures you're a loser and his life is simply the best possible anyone could have and that we all should be jealous of him.
  Envious of the rotten teeth due, rumored, to crack. Envious of the aging face, and of the treatments that are required to keep it viable? 
  Envious of the uneven relationships? 
  Envious of the debauchery, the panic his family feels as they watch him deteriorate and beg him to go to rehab?
  Mmmm.
  Don't think so, Charlie.
  Why are these people so disconnected from reality?
  Are they so solipsistic that nothing exists beyond their shores?
  Then there's Eleanor Clift, commentator extraordinaire who says, "Since when does Scott Walker represent the people?"
  Let me paraphrase our president.
  Elections have consequences. You didn't win.

  Wow. Then there's Chris Matthews. Wow. The way these liberal men have treated this woman is breathtaking. The hypocrisy of calling for more respect for their own "kind" yet threatening all manner of obscene behavior for her is despicable. No matter what you think of Palin, no one deserves to be treated this way. Matthews, who prides himself that he is smarter than she, repeatedly, day after day after day, appears to have a sick fascination with her, unable to focus on any other politician.
  Watch, H/T Daily Caller:

  Then this male dodo bird in Madison calls a female Republican "f***ing dead" for voting her choices.  Report over at WTMJ. Unlike Charlie Sheen, he's realized the error of his ways and *apologized,* having immediately realized the winds weren't blowing his way on that one.
  I dunno.
  Is it just me?
  Or do all these people need rehab?
