Sheen Makes Surprise Appearance on Piers Morgan (Piers: Charlie is the Che Guevara of TV)
Newser ^ | February 28, 2011 | Rob Quinn

Posted on 03/01/2011 2:14:05 AM PST by maggief

EXCERPT

Sheen—while maintaining that he was on "a quest to claim absolute victory"—said he plans to go back and finish the season of Two and a Half Men and he can "sort of understand why" CBS felt the need to intervene after some high-profile incident. Morgan touched on the domestic abuse issue but for the most part went pretty easy on Sheen, offering compliments including "TV needs you" and "You're kind of the Che Guevara of Hollywood at the moment."

When I watched his interview on cbs, all I seen was a panicking crack addict. Flailing arms, jerky motions and wild eyed.

That said the most disgusting thing I’ve seen on TV about this issue was watching Bill Maher gush about Charlie Sheen last night on Jimmy Kimmel.

I'm sure that the existance of Charlie Sheen comforts Bill Maher when he is confronting his inner demons. It always helps to know that somewhere there is somebody more Effed Up than you are.

Wow! This really IS the absolute asinine extreme of arrogant Hollywierd, conceited, idiocy!!

This guy makes Tom Cruise look self-effacing, stable and sane.

Where’s the Gong Show guy with the hook????

I confess - I watched a bit of the CNN interview last night and you have given a perfect description of Sheen: all flailing arms, jerky motions and wild eyed.

"TV needs you" and "You're kind of the Che Guevara of Hollywood at the moment."

Gag.

I hope the cleaning crew mopped up the drool after Morgan was finished. Wouldn't want anybody slipping and getting hurt.

Chuck's very first vanity card seems to sum up what is happening today with Charlie and make me realize old Chuck had a pretty good view of the world and life back in 1997 when he wrote it. The bold & underlining is mine:

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS
Thank you for videotaping "Dharma & Greg" and freeze-framing on my vanity card. I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you some of my personal beliefs. I believe that everyone thinks they can write. This is not true. It is true, however, that everyone can direct. I believe that the Laws of Karma do not apply to show business, where good things happen to bad people on a fairly regular basis. I believe that what doesn't kill us makes us bitter. I believe that the obsessive worship of movie, TV and sports figures is less likely to produce spiritual gain than praying to Thor. I believe that Larry was a vastly underrated Stooge, without whom Moe and Curly could not conform to the comedy law of three (thanks, Lee). I believe my kids are secretly proud of me. I believe that if you can't find anything nice to say about people whom you've helped to make wildly successful and then they stabbed you in the back, then don't say anything at all. I believe I have a great dog, maybe the greatest dog in the whole wide world, yes, he is! I believe that beer is a gateway drug that leads, inevitably, to vodka and somebody oughta do something about it. I believe that when ABC reads this, I'm gonna be in biiiig trouble. I believe that Tina Turner's "River Deep, Mountain High", is the greatest rock song ever recorded. Once again, thanks for watching "Dharma & Greg". Please be sure to tune in again to this vanity card for more of my personal beliefs.

BTW Gadzooks, Dharma was hot... wasn't she?

And I so.... wanted to be Greg!

And still... do!

Sheen is a ruthless Communist murderer?

No, but he is a Hero of the left. Facts and Details are over the heads of the left. Ideology and Beliefs- far more important!

Sheen appears to be in a bipolar manic phase with delusions of grandeur.
_________________________________________

I wouldn’t be surprized at all by your analysis. In manic phases of bipolar it is possible for the individual to break with reality. Clearly Sheen’s done this and the fact that he self medicates with drugs and alcohol has only added fuel to his sickness.

You know there seems to be a correlation with talented, creative people who suffer from bipolar. The sad part is that those who choose not to get help instead elect to self destruct in a very public arena. I think Sheen’s chosen this path and that’s sad, especially for his children.

"TV needs you" and "You're kind of the Che Guevara of Hollywood at the moment."

It's important interviews and cogent comments like this are the reason that piers morgan is the leading ratings show in the 9:00 PM time slot on cable news shows.

cnn uber alles.

"Frankly, I’m wondering what the real story is here."

Ratings. Sheen is going to be passed around from talk-show host to talk-show host light a bad joint, with each of them hoping his inevitable final meltdown will occur on his/her show.

After seeing a recent interview, I’ll be surprised if he’s still alive in 6 months.

"(Piers: Charlie is the Che Guevara of TV)"

What does that mean? When killing people, Charlie likes to shoot them in the neck?

I concur that bipolar may be the most logical explanation. Manic-depressives often self-medicate with booze and drugs. If he really did voluntarily take and pass a piss test before doing these interviews then a manic phase makes the most sense. The disjointed thinking, grandiosity and wild gesticulations would certainly point in that direction.

As for the Che Guevera reference, libs admire those sexy, bearded terrorists because they too would be killing people and blowing things up if they weren’t so addicted to the Good Life... I personally believe Charlie’s claim that some of his fans are emailing him to praise him as the Che of Hollywood. Undoubtedly there are many people out there who consider a life of money, booze, drugs, hookers and all-around bad behavior the Acme of human existence.

As long as Charlie can afford people to cater to him and clean up after him he will never bottom out. I’m sure the MSM has his obit all written out and ready to post.
