"What was the question, officer?"

"I was referring to Chuck by his real name, because I wanted to address the man, not the bulls**t TV persona....So you're telling me, anytime someone calls me Carlos Estevez, I can claim they are anti-Latino?"
Carlos Estevez is Sheen's birth (and legal) name, just like Haim is Lorre's birth name.
Personally, I'm tired of everyone claiming victim-hood because of they were called a politically incorrect name.
Sheen not keen
"What was the question, officer?"
CNN did it on purpose. They’d love to hire Sheen, put him
on the Spitzer/Parker show, and rename it “2 1/2 Schmucks”.
Those Hymies made Martin and Charlie filithy rich. I pity the Hollywood Jews.
I am just sitting back and enjoying the show, Charlie.
Thanks!
As he SAID it, not wrote it, whose transliteration was more correct?
And if he wants to be called “Mohammad Ali” why you gotta call him “Cassius Clay”? But would it be anti-black and/or anti-Muslim to do so? Probably not, but still - it seems petty at best and racist at worst.
They hypocrisy of him calling out someone for a name change is especially amusing from “Carlos Esevez” / “Charlie Sheen”.
Morrissey is getting this part wrong. Sheen didn't say "Hymie Levine", he said "Haim Levine". Haim Levine is the legal birth name of the man who now calls himself "Chuck Lorre".
I listened to the audio on the Today Show this morning, and to me it clearly sounded like "Haim", not Hymie.
Listen, I think Sheen's rant was contemptible on a variety of levels, and I think it's pretty reflective of a guy afflicted with Manic depression (probably drug-induced, which is VERY common in long-term addicts) and in a manic state. But, I don't think there was anything antisemitic in his rant - douchey yes, but antisemitic no.
Lorre has, from what I understand, penned vanity tiles that run in the show's credits that refer to Charlie as "Carlos Esteves". What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
It’s the other way around.
Even if Sheen said “Hymie”, comparing it to Gibson’s tirade just makes conservatives look petty. Not every report, every article or blog by CNN or MSNBC is hypocrisy...
MANY, but not all.
yup—Martin Sheen btw has an actor/producer brother who kept the family surname: Joe Estevez —and wikipedia says of him, “Unlike his brother, Martin Sheen, Joe Estevez is a political conservative.” And of course Emilio “Repo Man” Estevez
also kept the orig surname.
YAWWWWWWNNNNN..... Only the latest insanity from nutland. He and Lindsay Lowlife....
A couple months ago there was a big story about the huge contract the kid from the show signed. Many millions of dollars.
I think he has a case for a lawsuit. Along with the rest of the crew.
Word on the street is that Charlie is on the short list to be Eliot Spitzer’s new co-host....
I love watching the train wreck that is Charlie Sheen.
The only way it could get better is if Charlie Sheen did lines of coke off Lindsey Lohan’s belly during a live NBA game and then took a swing at another famous train wreck, Mike Tyson.
In order to be a leftist, you must hate, and you must have hate in you. It comes out every now and then.
Personally, I don’t give a (fill in your obscenity, profanity or balsmephy of choice) what Charlie Sheen says or does.
Nothing against Charlie, I feel the same way about most show biZ ‘celebrities.’
I was hoping he would get Jay Carney's new job as Presidential Press Spokesman.
