What the hell is "in house treatment for alcoholism?"

[Atman]

According to "breaking news" on CNN, Foley is seeking "in-house" treatment for alcoholism.

Or should that be "in-House" treatment? Let the cover-up continue!

What a crock of shit.

1. 28 day on site rehab program.

8. I know several 2 month programs (post election)

2. it means his Barcalounger has a secret

hidden bar inside

3. How convenient.

Bush will declare his alcoholism when he gets charged with war crimes.

4. I assume the reference is to "inpatient" or "residential" Tx--

the kind where you check into a facility & stay there (safe from the prying cameras and mikes of the press) while getting your treatment.

9. Lobotomies are an outpatient procedure now?

My... My... How things have changed.

I'll watch for the scar.

[Jackpine Radical]

16. Yeah. That was kinda forced on us by managed care, ya know.

Ya sick a screwdriver in the right orbit, tap it throughthe bone, wiggle it around a little, pull it out & he's ready to go. Maybe an eye patch to cover the shiner for a couple weeks.

5. "In House" is weird wording

"Inpatient" would tell us more.

[Crankie Avalon]

6. It means another repuke who can't take responsibility for his wrongdoing

...the devil/demon-rum made him do it, etc.

7. In-house treatment is just living in the treatment center for 30 days or

more for a break away from your drinking/drug area and you also get intensive therapy. Most alcoholics need a drying out period so they can be watched while they with drawl from alchol abuse.

11. That is "in-patient" treatment.

Oh, we have to watch our wording when referring to the GOP elephants in the room. Saying he is a "patient" has negative connotations, you know!

:eyes:

14. Depends on what state you live in, up here in Michigan its in-house the

real severe alcoholic/drug addicts go in-patient in the mental ward because of severe with drawls and hallucinations, they can turn violent.

[pooja]

10. Ever notice when someone is in a lot of trouble really high up

they run to the closest clinic claiming stress, pressure, booze/ drugs, and an altered state of mind. Wonder if the same creeps they catch on the dateline shows catching predators have that option before they are hauled off to jail... wait I was out of my mind.

and in the bit of transcript I read about the kid masturbating and Foley getting way to turned on is rather amusing. The kid is so non-chalant... just like teens today. Most will talk about sex with anyone and there preferences. There is not enough shock and awe left for teens. I think you become more shocked and awed as you age and have children. I think the kid thought it was all pretty funny stuff and I can't help noticing that he's a lacross player. Guess they are prepping them for Duke.

12. Wingnuts have great compassion for alcoholics.

DUI's don't faze them. Being a drunk is just another opportunity for finding Jesus, after all.

An old professor of mine defined the Superego as "that substance of the psyche that is soluble in alcohol."

Given the amount of repressed, twisted sexual stuff the average Puggy must carry around, you can see how their ids must come boiling out when they're plastered--and how great the urge must be to get plastered. Think of Swaggart, Cheney with his gun, etc. They're always drunk when they do their shit, and they're always drunk.

The Demon Rum made me do it!

The thought just now hit me--I wonder if Cheney doesn't have

[Double T]

13. Foley : The alcohol made me do IT. What a load of crap.

Typical rethug denial and blame.

[soothsayer]

15. They're hiding him for 28 days. He'll be out before the election,

tho!

[lies and propaganda]

17. they always blame booze.

not the fact they are denying themselves of who they truly are and passing legislation at the same time to fuck gays over.
