If I had to work at Fox, I’d probably become an alcoholic too.

So… he’s a pillhead as well as a drunk?

Seeing that he works for Fox it makes perfect sense.

So basically he’s just another conservative criminal.

It’s okay–Gregg’s just working on finding bottom. Once he gets there, he can begin to climb up again…or not.

Fresh out of Hazelden, someone predicted this yesterday, to whomever, nice job.

I like this little tid bit: ā€œGabapentin is a painkiller that can cause drowsiness and confusion and does not mix well with alcohol.ā€

Does not mix well with alcohol is relative. Apparently the mixture did exactly what Jarret desired. F’ed him up. And who can blame him? Seriously, who among us hasn’t walked out a treatment center and staight into the nearest bar?

This is the point at which I’d like to see people stop reporting on this situation. I don’t like Fox Nuts or Jarrett, but I do hope he gets better. That’s made incredibly more difficult with the media focusing on him. Just because there is no question Fox would shine the light on a rival network’s host’s problems, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do here.

Tempting to say something like ā€œbut wait…I thought the only people who abuse drugs are inner city minorities???ā€ but meh…the guy has issues. May he get well. Perhaps if he sobers up he’ll be able to heal whatever mental disorder caused him to work for Faux News in the first place.

He seems to be administering the treatment for getting hooked on the evils at Faux. Problem is, the cure is it’s own evil.

I say Pee test every one of Faux’s anchors and reporters and do it with an underfunded government agency that they would normally shit on.

This is truly sad. It doesn’t seem that he was in rehab very long, especially if these were some of his ā€˜personal problems’.

ā€œAn officer later found three Gabapentin pills in Jarrett’s pocketsā€¦ā€

That sounds like they weren’t in a bottle to indicate he had a proper prescription.

Get well, Greg.

BTW

"Arrested Fox Anchor Was Fresh Out Of Rehab, "

Nice double entendre…it does indeed appear that he had just run out of rehabilitation…none left…empty.

It’s fun to connect his substance abuse problems to his place of employment. It makes for good snark and schadenfreude. However, I’m going to assume this is all tongue in cheek. Alcoholism knows no class nor does it care about your place of employment or how much of your soul you’ve sold to work there. Like any other illness, it’s totally nondiscriminatory. A little sympathy might be in order.

Well, well…well___Obviously, just like his GOPig-propaganda-machine employer FOX Spews, Jarrett was and is ā€œFairly Unbalanced.ā€

I don’t know what personal hell he’s been living through, and I suspect none of us do, or ever will.

I can only wish him every good wish to find the strength and the sobriety he was reaching out for.

Fresh outta’ ā€˜Rehab’ huh?

Guess he drank it all.

He’s probably in a lot of pain_____carrying all that water and bullsh*t for FOX and Murdoch’s News Corpse’.

Jarrett was one of the few ā€œnewā€ correspondents on Court TV that I could actually listen to, understand the news, and respect his comments. During the OJ trial, I always like his segments far more than Greta (pre-face lift), and Abrahsom’s. We all have demons, let’s just hope that he can continue in his career with this hiccup.
