    Addiction?? What a lame excuse for what is REALLY bad character, bad choices, and weakness. Saying this is an addiction takes his personal responsibility and accountability out of it. Its psycho-babble crap of the 21st century! Just like the skank and horrible mom Brit claiming to be bipolar when she really wants to just party and neglect her kids!!

    I agree he should know right from wrong and his sexual advances are not excusable but if it's going to continue to be uncontrollable, well, then, yes, he must start rehab a.s.ap. but this didn't stop Hillary from her goal to be president, either.
