Robin Williams Enters Rehab Twelve Days After Ridiculing Rush LimbaughÂ’s Drug Use
2006-08-10
h/t Drudge.
The National Enquirer reported Wednesday that comedian Robin Williams has entered an alcohol rehab on July 11 to try and conquer “a three-year battle with booze that's threatening to destroy his marriage.” Though we certainly wish Williams well, it does seem rather odd that twelve days before he checked into the Hazelden Springbrook rehab facility in Newberg, Oregon, he was on the “Tonight Show” making disparaging remarks about radio host Rush Limbaugh’s problems with painkillers.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Glass house. Ballistic object.

#4  From what I know he did many USO shows that were well liked. I hope he can kick it.

#3  Robin was funny when he was on coke. I don't know when he cleaned up but my guess would be somewhere after Good Morning Vietnam and Doubtfire when his movies stopped being funny.

God only knows what will happen after he's clean and sober totally.

#2  Robin Williams (Cronauer): I just want to begin by saying to Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, what it is, what it shall be, what it was. The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut.

#1  In another time, ye old court jester was a fool [an actual job description] who was allowed to mock the king in his own court. It was to keep the king humble in a Christian sense. However, the jester got access to all the benefits of the court just as the king did. So, from the view of the peasants, while the jester may at times get to say things out loud theyÂ’d like to say every now under their breath , in essence the jester was exploiting the lower class just as much as the king. Sort of a medieval 3 degrees of separation.
