I think people (especially people looking to blame conditions such as bi-polar disorder) are forgetting that Charlie Sheen, before this latest rush of shriek-for-help interviews, had proven himself to be at least a little bit nuts. 

(from the NY Daily News last year:
Feb 04 2010, New York — Charlie Sheen has great timing.

Just as the country stopped to mourn the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Sheen, in an interview, urged President Obama to launch an investigation because the actor believes the Bush Administration masterminded 9/11 to justify invading Iraq.

Sheen’s screed appeared in the form of an imaginary interview titled “Twenty Minutes with the President” posted on prisonplanet.com, the website of radio host and extremist Alex Jones on whose show Sheen appeared Friday.

Sheen, the star of CBS’ “Two and a Half Men,” has made similar charges before. As he’s done on previous occasions, Friday he claimed the official version of 9/11 is “an absolute fairytale, a complete work of fiction and not a very good one.”)

Great.

At around 1:35 in this video – you’ll hear his “truther” conspiracy take on 9/11. It’s sad and silly all at once – but it’s him. Just a reminder that, as we all watch his peculiar spiral down the madness coil, Charlie Sheen had proven himself as a loose-cannon bizarro years ago. It’s nothing new.
This guy needs help. Fast.
