Giving alcohol a bad name

This is Wanda Sykes' take on the Mark Foley alcoholism claim. Today I read of a new term: "rehabracadabra". This refers to the magic ability of rehab to cure any sin. No matter what trangression you may have committed, simply claim that you are an alcoholic (or addcited to painkillers, or whatever substance you may prefer) and Voila! You get a nice rest far from the prying eyes of the media. And you get to play the victim card, thus absolving yourself of any guilt.
