Is Charlie Sheen the latest hero/victim?

You may have heard the news about Charlie Sheen being diagnosed HIV-Positive.


Jamie Wilson writes at PJ Media,
''We're talking about shakedowns," Sheen said about hush-money paid thus far. "I've paid people, not that many, but enough to bring it into the millions and what people forget is that's money you've taken from my kids." Yep, it's always all about the children, isn't it? Of course, money's more important than parenting or setting a good example, anyway.

So that's the story, or what we've been told of it. But the unsavory and insipid Sheen will be held up as a hero-victim, just like Bruce Jenner, just like Lamar Odom. This convenient sentimental fiction will recreate Sheen as a liberal media hero. He'll star in a movie extolling the evils of war -- sort of an anti-Platoon -- and talk about his support for Hillary Clinton. Thus he will be redeemed and become a media-anointed hero. His medical status, his bankrupt personal morality, his self-destructive behavior will all be swept away in the cleansing fire of a newfound Progressivism. All the women he may have harmed, all their subsequent sex partners and their family, his terrible life choices and the impact they've had on the people who love him, they will be forgotten.

...Promoting restraint, of course, won't be part of Sheen's rehabilitation. He's already made that clear by talking about having doctor-approved HIV-positive sex without a condom. Because we all know that will work out well in the end.
