How else could he get away with all his crazy?

(NEWSER) - What is the deal with Charlie Sheen? He can—and does—perform any number of “unforgivably stupid or impossibly sleazy” actions, the kind of things that would normally destroy a career…yet Charlie “does them about a dozen times a year and gets off clean,” writes Daniel O'Brien in Cracked .

But Sheen combined “the hookers, the drugs, the drinking” into “one slimy ball of sex funk,” and still stars in one of the most popular shows in America.
