Dennis Rodman has checked into an undisclosed alcohol rehabilitation center to treat his long-time struggle with alcoholism, his agent says.

Darren Prince declined on Saturday to say which facility will treat Rodman and how long he will be there. Rodman recently returned to the United States from his latest trip to North Korea.

His anti-American/pro-communist leanings made him do it. The alcohol was just the switch that released it.

Unless his treatment includes Liberalism detox they may as well forget about it.

Without the Liberal detox once he is out on the street again he will be hobnobbing with communist dictators again and he will be right back where he started.

Apparently Rodman considered suicide after a girlfriend broke up with him when he was with the Pistons. He went to the SAS with the idea that he was just going to do whatever made him happy.

He’s a nutcase, but he was a rebounding machine....

Not shocked, but I wish him well and hope this brings about some positive changes for his life.

Evidently, the hungry North Korean dogs (all 120 of them) refused to taste dark meat!

Unless the treatment center also does lobotomies and/or organic brain disorder treatment, Rodman will be back out the same as he went in.

Roger that. He needs a brain transplant.

Was it here that I once read that there is a rehab center in the L.A. area (where else?) (or more than one like it!) where you are driven up to the door of a nice, elegant modern clinic, the paparazzi are waiting outside, get out of the limo which drives off, walk inside, go to the reception desk, take care of the formalities, payments, etc, jeez, it takes so damn long, finally are able to start walking that long corridor straight toward the back door exit, open it, go out, through the nice manicured garden to the circular driveway, where your chauffeur is waiting, engine running, the Eagles playing on the cassette tape deck inside, no paparazzis are allowed anywhere near, get in that limo and ride off to party down as ever before!

I guess being “helped” by Dr. Drew didn’t work. That’s the problem with not being anonymous. Your failures are out there for all to see.

And isn’t it interesting that the co-founder of AA made the decision that they should stay anonymous because of a professional baseball player. He went around telling how AA had saved his life then got drunk. Lots of people were then saying “AA doesn’t work.”
