Sex Rehab And Other Stupidity

You’d think that being married to actress Tea Leoni would be sufficient to cure any man’s addiction to sex, but apparently not David Duchovny, who announced yesterday that he was checking into sex rehab.

“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” the actor told People yesterday. “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

Respect and privacy? Geez, we’ve never heard a statement from a celebrity asking for those two things before. At some point these attention-whore celebrities should seriously recognize that begging for people to look at them and then bitching when they do is a little hypocritical, particularly when the subject in question is as ludicrously inviting as “sex rehab,” which as far as we can tell is a direct plea for people to make fun of you.

MORE SARAH PALIN - Props to USA Today for the most self-evident headline in history …

Experts: Palin chosen for women’s votes

Hold up … who are these experts? For we must follow the star and sit at their feet immediately.

JINDAL JOURNAL - We were going to write about this earlier (and more extensively), but damn if Sarah Palin’s legs (oh, and her VP selection) didn’t distract us. Anyway, Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana (and another formerly potentially transformative veep prospect) was also in the news today, touting how his state has used the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to strengthen its fiscal well-being.

Obviously, we’re big fans of Bayou Bobby, who has done a remarkable job turning Louisiana around. In this case, however, we would recommend that he be careful what he wishes for. With another dangerous hurricane headed straight for New Orleans, his state may be facing another not-so-pleasant impetus for an otherwise welcome fiscal conservative revival.

I think Duchovny’s “addiction” is his reaction to getting “caught”. He’ll probably end up getting a divorce…this is his way of saying “I had a prob” so the courts cut him some slack when it comes to paying the wifey.
