The Other McCain

Crazy? CRAZY? Who You Calling Crazy?

Posted on | March 9, 2011 | 38 Comments

So I was watching Fox News last night and Sean Hannity had an “expert” on the show, a psychiatrist who tentatively suggested the possibility that Charlie Sheen might be exhibiting symptoms of bipolar disorder.

Really?

No, I mean, REALLY? Because I would call the state medical board and demand they revoke the license of any psychiatrist who doubts that Charlie Sheen is bipolar.

The only other possibility is that Charlie’s trying to win an Emmy for “Best Dramatic Performance as a Dude With Raging Bipolar Disorder.”

For reasons unkown, there was no “Sheen’s Korner” Tuesday night, but his Monday rant was a blast of weapons-grade lunatic gibberish:

“Now, everyone’s 20 years behind my book, catching up, saying, ‘My gosh, where was all this brilliance?’”
“And I’m saying it was right there. You had the poetry in your magic fingertips the entire time, to flip my perfect pages and read my perfect words, but you didn’t go there because you judged me, you condemned me, you discarded me. Well, not anymore. Winning! . . .
“People need to hear my gold as it rolls out, not as it’s like disappearing, like so many frickin’, you know, magicians’ rabbits. . . .
“Apocalypse… me… the jaws of life.”

And more:

“I don’t give a f**k, I don’t give a f**k. This phone doesn’t even have a speaker because it was built by trolls. Keep that in mind, phones are built by trolls. . . .
“If you own the home that you own the trash can, you should never have to empty it ever again . . .
“We are in the middle of a movement here, an odyssey of epic, epic proportions. . . .
“Any time I roll anything out, my plan is the best one in the room and people are starting to realize that. . . .
“Their plan is s**t and my plan is gold. Walk into my plan and you’re going to win, win, win. . . .
“It’s a Sheen dog and it’s soul is inhabited by the soul of Betty and now it will murder people and eat trolls with it’s razor fangs and drop their spleens off with their children at tiny houses. I’m foiled by phones and trolls!”

There are schizophrenics in straitjackets locked up in padded rooms who don’t spew word-salad nonsense half as crazy as that.

Let me address myself to the California law-enforcement community: Does the phrase “a danger to himself and others” mean anything to you guys? How about the phrase “involuntary commitment”?

Within the next 48 to 72 hours, either somebody’s going to put Charlie in the hospital, or else we’re likely to be writing his obituary.

    No man… ya got to listen to the words he not saying. Groovy.

    Nah, not bipolar, but he does sound delusional…maybe schizophrenic, which is worse than bipolar…..or maybe he’s on drugs. All I know about is what I’ve read here and what I’ve seen on the video (without audio)….but looking at his quote here, it sounds like he’s having delusions of some kind. It’s possible also that he is so engulfed with pride that he just ‘sounds’ like he has a psychological disorder. Falling into the abyss of self-centeredness can look like ‘crazy’ when it’s actually just what sin does to you.

    There goes McCain again, dissin’ the Manic-Depressive race.

    Raaaaacist!

  • ThomasD

    Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder both typically first manifest in early adulthood. If Sheen has gone this long as a schizophrenic without treatment it would be truly an amazing thing. But that is beyond doubtful, high functioning schizophrenics can exist somewhat in mainstream society, but only with treatment, and even then not all that well. If Sheen was one of them we’d all already know it.

    Bipolar types fly under the radar much better, particularly if they do not cycle into mania too frequently, or cycle out before doing anything too spectacular.

    It is also possible that Sheen may have had been suffering from chronic depression (or a significant personality disorder) but had never had a truly manic episode until he fried enough of the inhibitory functions of his brain with the copious drugs and alcohol.

    If so the Sheen of even two years ago may never be recoverable.

  • Dan

    Isn’t that a bit much?

    You put together a string cite of his sentences to make it look probably far worse than it is.

    We could probably do the same thing to you, pick and choose some inflammatory posts, cull out one or two about your fedora, throw in some Rule 5 musings, —– and voila! Drag off RSM before he hurts somebody!

    It takes a bit more than that for authorities to start hauling off heretofore law-abiding citizens off the streets. Waving a machete from a rooftop does not mean he’s going to start carving up people in the next hours.

    Much of his behavior right now is venting and trying to give off the veneer of victory, or as he terms it “winning.”

    Settle down.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1385852725 Richard Mcenroe

    Charlie Sheen is making a run at replacing Neal Cassady as King of the Inchoherent Beat Poets. Of course, he hasn’t dropped dead next to a Mexican railroad track yet, but give him time.

  • Dan

    And the same with your choice of photographs by the by.

    You selected exactly those that make him look whacked, but what of those photos wherein he looks normal. Your photo suggests that 24/7 Sheen is raving and a menace.

    Is that really the case?

  • Dan

    That’s a good one!

    No worries, gg and his army of sock puppets are definitely not #Winning! :D

    I’ll be glad when we can escape this “winning” meme, it’s giving triumphalism a bad name.

  • Anamika

    Please make the serial comment flagger(s) STOP! Check the comments in recent threads, i see many comments from regulars have disappeared and several “flagged. Seems ‘gg’ is WINNING! Make him/her/them/it lose. Thanks!

  • Anamika

    Exactly. Just a side question: When was the last time you ‘triumphed’?

    Wombat has the #tigerblood ’round here.

  • Anamika

    I think gg has blood in his/her unrine and hope he/she stop pissing all over TOM and die soon.

    In regards to the picture…He’s an actor, He wanted to look like that. He was “role playing.”

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1385852725 Richard Mcenroe

    Maybe we need to nickname all Sheen’s defenders “the porkpies”.

  • Dan

    Get the feeling Richard doesn’t have the ability to discern somebody playing “devil’s advocate?”

  • Dan

    So how many hours has it been since RSM determined that Charlie needed to be hauled off?

    And how many corpses has Charlie accounted for in the interim?

    I checked out the news a little while ago and amazingly, just amazingly, ——– there wasn’t a full-out police search going on for that wanted man, Charlie Sheen.

    -Quoted from and Linked to at:
    I’m Golden

    -While I have agreed with your comments on Sheen, Stacy, about 100%, James Bowman makes this very interesting observation that strikes me as containing a lot of truth in a weird way:

    ‘…And yet it is not quite the case that Charlie can get richer than he already is just from being Charlie. He — or someone on his behalf — has also got to tweet, and coming up with a regular supply of 140-character, haiku-like compositions could make him or his ghost into the highest paid poet in history. That he knows this is suggested by some of those webcasts that Miss Freeman thinks (sadly, erroneously) would scare a druggie straight. Here’s an excerpt, as retailed by Lisa de Moraes of The Washington Post:

    Oh how they once begged to attend my perfect banquet in the nude, now they just beg for the keys to my gold. Here is my unwanted guest list. the names slightly altered to prevent their stench from polluting my magic daiquiri, or even worse, stealing my favorite pony. A pony named Steve, his orange mane painted blue, blue like the evening sky, as he gallops into the basement to acquire the ancient flatware and a rotting cheeseboard covered in the mold of their moral dysentery.

    As Robert Schumann said on first hearing the music of Frédéric Chopin: “Hats off, gentlemen. A genius.” ‘

    Crap, give this guy his own talk show on late night and he’ll be fine. Put it on Showtime or HBO and it will be a ratings bonanza, guaranteed.

    Who was defending him…I think he’s an ass. It was meant as snark.

    gg has not won until we give up, which is not ever going to happen. Also, just like RAAAAACISM! has 5 a’s, now #Winning! requires the pound sign and exclamation point. ;)

    I think a case can be made he’s a menace to himself. As long as he doesn’t drive I think society will be OK.

    I think Vincent Price would view that pic with envy. At his best Ol’ Vincent couldn’t look that deranged.

    Playing Devil’s Advocate implies a commitment to honest discourse. Assumes facts not in evidence, porkpie.

  • Heathercarolsteely

    Um, yeah, I have bi-polar disorder. I take meds, get therapy and do lots of stuff to keep in under control. Now, I’ll admit even undiagnosed I was not on Sheens level ( thank heavens). This is a sick man. People who don’t suffer from it simply don’t get how bad it is. Unfortunately, he’s not suffering (you never are when your in a manic phase). The problem is what happens when the “up” ends and the “down begins”. This mania can go on for months and , rarely, for years. I’m genuinely scared for Sheen and especially those who love him. There is no way this will end well unless someone can cushion the inevitable fall.
