The mayor of Atlantic City whose mysterious absence sparked political chaos and national intrigue was at a rehabilitation facility in Somerset County, his attorney said today.

Robert Levy spent the start of his 13-day disappearance from public life at the Carrier Clinic in Belle Mead, his attorney told the Press of Atlantic City for a report on its Web site. Attorney Edwin J. Jacobs said Levy checked into the clinic on Sept. 26 or 27, and returned to Atlantic City last week, the newspaper reported. The 60-year-old mayor has been convalescing in his Venice Park home since Thursday, Jacobs told the Press.

Since he’s a politician/celeb and went to rehab then everything is hunky-dory now, no matter what the crime or violation.

You can’t rehabilitate “stupid.”

Rehad? Sure he was. That' why he didn't tell anyone where he was.

Doesn't make much sense to me, but then he's a Democrat, he isn't required to make sense.

So, like, are we going to see these clinics advertising like ambulance chasers?
"Politician, had a run of bad luck? got caught in a sting? hand in the cookie jar? dead girl or live boy in bed? happy feet? Call ABC Rehab, open 24 x 7, private jet service to avoid paparazzi and unfortunate concourse incidents. Call 1-555-go-rehab and play that card today!"

DING DING DING! The WINNAH!

I’d like to get in on the bottom rung of this exciting new franchise! How much is the new membership, and when do I have to sign up two new friends?

I dunno, Old Sarge, what would it take to start up such a chain? I know a failed counselor or two. There sure as heck is a market. :)

Seriously, some counselors backslide and are locked out of being a counselor but who better to help others, someone who has been-there, done-that or someone with book learning? Of course, you can't have the counselor meeting up with the group after the meeting and at the bar.

Okay, okay, so there have to be a few association rules, that’s standard fine-print-bottom-of-the-contract stuff.

We’d have to factor in fees for HIPAA, bench recognition for our credentials with the local courts, that sort of thing. I think our cousin Armando with INS could help us out?

Jacobs would not say what led Levy to go to the clinic, which describes itself on its Web site as "a private, not-for-profit behavioral healthcare system founded in 1910 that specializes in psychiatric and addiction treatment."

We know that this guy is a liar, but is he also a drunk or a dopehead or both?

I don’t get it.

I’m a Vietnam combat vet. Flew helicopters. Got shot at. Saw some things, didn’t see or do others. I don’t even mention it most of the time. I’m alive, thank God.

All this guy had to do was be himself. He was there, got awarded combat medals, survived.

Isn’t it enough just to be able to get on with your life?
