Former Florida candidate for governor Andrew Gillum disclosed Sunday that he is entering a rehabilitation facility, saying he had fallen into a depression and alcohol abuse after losing his bid for the state's highest post. The Democrat's statement came days after Gillum was named in a South Florida police report Friday that said he was 'inebriated' and initially unresponsive in a hotel room along with two male companions, Travis Dyson, 30, and Aldo Mejias, 56, where authorities found baggies of suspected crystal methamphetamine.

So disgusting, but the usual escape-from-scrutiny gambit of your typical low-life Democrat politician.

Still lots of unanswered questions. Why was he allowed to leave if too drunk to communicate? How did he end up in a room with two naked gay guys? And someone should have been charged with having the crystal meth.

Every day citizens are jailed for this but he isn't? I guess he is taking his cue from Bill Clinton's reason for engaging sexually with Monica Lewinsky. Their job or loss causes them to do this stuff. Um, no, your lack of morals are the cause. If you can't stand the heat, maybe you shouldn't be in the kitchen is my thinking.

SOP. Seems anytime sex is involved, the man/woman goes off to 'rehab'. Remember Tiger Woods? Charlie Sheen? Micheal Douglas? Eric Benet? Nicole Narain? Part of damage control.

Andrew Gillum is a "top democrat"...when did that happen? After his little two step with a gay escort and three bags of meth I would refer to him as a bottom feeder.

So Gillum claims he was at a Wednesday (??) night wedding, and somehow ended up at a hotel (where the "wedding" didn't take place), nude, with two other men, one of them a gay prostitute (who had overdosed on drugs), packets of crystal meth laying around the room, Gillum vomiting and so incoherent he couldn't communicate with police. He's lucky he's not a Republican, or this story would be headlined in every newspaper and news site in the country (not to mention that he would have been arrested, booked, complete with mug shot, and the information of his arrest would have been promptly and widely publicized). He needs more than rehab, but I do feel sorry for his wife and three children.
I predict that the Dems/press will "rehabilitate" Gillum. Much like the NYTimes' story, in which the Times contorted itself into a pretzel trying to explain away former Congresswoman Katie Hill's throuple transgression.

39, given your post, I recommend a South Park episode, where two of the lads , based on a one question screening test at school, are sent to a sex addict treatment program.
the program participants included tiger Woods, ben Rothliesburger, david Letterman, Bill Cosby, Dollar Bill Clinton,and several others.
it was laugh out loud funny, even if you watch it by yourself..
as for 'down Low' Gillum, I doubt there is a homosexual sex addict program - that would be racist/ homophobic, hey?

It seems pretty simple to me. Deviant personal behavior translates into deviant political behavior. Orgy, meth, police involvement, people almost dying. There are all sorts of jobs people can do. We shouldn't be picking people like this for elected office. Their bad judgement can cost the public in all sorts of ways and we can never be sure of them. I'm not interested in their excuses or even "rehabilitation". Rehabilitation is for Hollyweird. We don't need public officials we have to keep an eye on in case of a relapse.

Watch for the AP reporter or Daily Mail headline writer to be severly punished.
Section 1845B-A-2 says that "Democrat or liberal miscreants are not to be identified by party affiliation in the headline. If possible, the affiliation should not be referenced at all in the story, but if necessary, no earlier than the 14th paragraph. The affiliation of a Republican, conservative, or Bible-beleving Christian should be referenced as quickly as possible. If the writer can link Republicans, conservatives, or Christians in the article about the Democrat miscreant, that's most preferred."

Concidering the circumstances the Police found you in, maybe Gender Change Surgery and WhoreMoan therapy would be a more appropriate course of action.
Just a thought.

He managed to hit the old politicians' adage. All that's missing was a dead girl in the room with him.

After rehab, he will opt to spend more time with his family. I'll wager he must find a whole new family to spend time with.

The first thing that Gillum should do is get tested for STD’s, since he was caught “going low” with two gay ”escorts” a category of homosexual that has been routinely found carrying STD’s. The so-called main stream media is generally ignoring certain normally embarrassing aspects of this incident involving Gillum insinuating that Gillum just got drunk on alcohol in a hotel room.

The standard dodge that high profile drunks, druggies and such use to avoid bad publicity about their problems. He'll still be a rump ranger, you can bet.

All part of his public relations consultants image salvage damage control plan. Get him into a 90-day spin-dry $35K/month Malibu rehab and before you know it he's cured, out, and ready to rumble.

I am being lazy, and don't feel like wasting the energy to read this.
So maybe someone can just give me the highlights. Is he going into rehab for meth addiction. Or is it because he likes to homosexual sex with homosexual male prostitutes while being married to a woman and having children with her?
Just curious...

This is so typical. He is not going into "rehab" because he wants to. Otherwise, he would have been in already. He is going in because he is getting pushed in and not because he wants to. This is all for show. He gets sympathy in the left-wing media, and off the front page while it dies down. As soon as he gets out it will be back to business as usual. The only other reason he is going in now is that he got caught. If he didn't have such a stroke of bad luck, noting would be changing. His wife and family can go into rehab too, for families of addicts. Their days of denial excuse making and enabling are over.
