I'm sure they could use the water and fertilizer if any of you Arizona based right wing nuts want to drop by the institute and pay your respects.
As a recovering addict myself, I am rather unhappy they broke his anonymity. The program has principles, and chief among them in anonymity. Too bad these guys couldn’t or wouldn’t respect that.
The whole fam damily belongs in asylums of some type.
Race hustling grifters.
At least he didn’t try to eat any of his colleagues before going into rehab.
What’s he addicted to, FREE CHEESE????
GRIFT ADDICT
Dearest Laz, you were never a public office holder, entrusted to make decisions for thousands of people. The public’s “right to know” etc. I’m shocked Andrea Mitchell reported it.
“Step One” in the 12 Step legal process.
JJ Jr. is under investigation for conspiracy to pay a bribe to convicted felon and former Illinois Governor Blagojevich.
The alcohol and drugs made me do it!
Oh, so the whole “exhaustion” thing was a coordinated lie?
Perhaps “exhaustion” is the liberal words for “Passed Out”
Is Junior wearing red liptstick?
Everything connected with a Democrat is a lie. Democrats, like Satan cannot exist without the lie.
He’s a Dem and Jesse Jackson’s son..can’t really blame him for smoking some crack
Does the FedGov provide good substance abuse coverage for its employees?
I thought Arizona was on the liberals’ sh!tlist? Why not California?
This guy is an elected representative. His addiction to alcohol and drugs directly affect his constituents. They have a right to know why he isn’t foing his job too. Some nebulous excuse isn’t good enough.
Congress and CA legislature need regular drug tests.
I dunno. The AA and NA in me screams foul, somehow.
The TEA Party needs a new plank for the platform. A push to make frequent mandatory drug testing the law for any elected rep and secondly, a mandatory BKG check by the FBI as part of the electoral process.
Add those two issues and you will get a ton of converts to the cause...and some better candidates.
And boy won’t the Democrats spaz out!
Once again the old adage proves true:
The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree
