SHOCKING! I NEVER would've suspected that Charlie Sheen is an illiterate little racist fuck.

Charlie Sheen’s Racist Obama Rant: ‘Barry Satera Kenya’

The man formerly known as Carlos Irwin Estévez has put his foot firmly in his mouth again.

Early Thursday morning, the star of Platoon, Wall Street, and Two and a Half Men took to Twitter to vent his frustration with President Obama’s appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter. You see, Obama was engaging in his annual tradition of filling out the NCAA tourney bracket on live television—a practice that seems to irk millions of myopic Americans far more than, say, George W. Bush’s pre-9/11 staycation.

Sheen, as is his wont, tweeted the following racist gibberish directed at the commander-in-chief:

Barry Satera Kenya u won't attend a soldier's funeral uhkros da street that u kild yet u hav time 4 brackets? s a d c http://moby.to/6ih0fg

I saw a sort of 'day in the life of Charlie Sheen' interview piece on television not long ago, and it couldn't have been more obvious. He appeared to be loaded by 5AM when his personal trainer showed up. He's a mess.

He is seriously mentally ill. Probably bipolar one. That tigers blood crap was pure mania. Not that this excuses his racism and sexism.

It's almost a "Sarah Palin" type of thing. Charlie Sheen hasn't had a real headline in a while, and I'm sure he's been feeling a little irrelevant. So he tweets something obnoxious to get some attention.

Sad, really, that someone with as much talent as I believe Sheen actually does have, engages in something this offensive and hurtful. But now it's out there and he can deal with the consequences of it - which will hopefully be swift and loud. The first step in stopping racism is for people to stand up and say they don't agree with it. Silence implies complicity.

So (standing up right now) - - - I don't agree with this crap, Charlie! You made a huge mistake in sending that tweet. Any admiration that I may have had for your acting talent is greatly diminished because of your actions.

hookers and cocaine. I bet Fox will offer him a job as an "expert" commentator.
