Whine is fine, but (blaming) liquor is quicker

I wasn't aware that the Surgeon General had determined that Jack Daniels -- or Jose Cuervo -- makes you a crook . . . or an anti-Semite. Though it may help release the inner crook . . . or inner anti-Semite.

Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) is a convicted crook who drinks. Mel Gibson is an alcoholic who really, really, really needs to talk to a good therapist about his dad . . . the noted Holocaust denier.

When it comes to high-profile malefactors looking for cheap grace and a handy excuse, the whiskey ain't workin' anymore. Not in my book, at least.
