It is a "hit piece" but it sure doesn't help Bennett's cause. I don't have a problem with people gambling but to me it sounds like his gambling habit is a little out of control. I know he makes a lot of money but throwing your money away in Las Vegas isn't the smartest thing in the world.

Your statement has merit if he always loses money. There is also the chance he wins on occasion too. I've seen a number of people at the blackjack tables with piles of chips in front of them, and I watched them make those piles.

Yes its a game of chance, but skill and intelligence does factor into the equation as well.

Geez, all this talk about Bennet playing video poker and slots being imoral, and we just got done cheering a man playing the highest stakes poker in the world:

W - against the UN, France, Germany, Russia, & of course So-Damn-Insane.

The next round has other players lining up for the challenge: Syria, Iran, and N. Korea.

In politics; gambling is a fact of life, so what if a player wants to play for a little less statkes, such as money.

I don't know.

Jimmy Carter's mother went to Studio 54, and I would never step foot in that Sodom of New York.

Tell that to Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan.

They spend a great deal of money in Vegas.
