Martin Sheen appeared in an interview recently where he said Charlie’s disease is as bad as cancer.

“He’s an extraordinary man,” Martin says of his son to Sky News, “He’s doing well, we pray for him. If he had cancer, how would you treat him? This disease of addiction is a form of cancer. You have to have an equal measure of concern and love and lift him up.”

With all do respect to Martin, we wouldn’t call Charlie’s disease the equivalent of cancer. The guy brought this on himself because of an addiction to sluts, booze and drugs. Not exactly the equivalent of cells growing out of control in your body.

Hollywood legend MARTIN SHEEN was asked not to attend a party at the White House where his WEST WING co-stars were invited to meet their real-life counterparts.

The 66-year-old actor, who played PRESIDENT JOSIAH BARTLET on the US political drama until it ended in May 06, got on well with Bush’s predecessor BILL CLINTON, but relations between the TV President and the US government soured when PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH came to power.

He reveals, “I adored Mr. Clinton. And he was a fan of The West Wing. For a while we were given carte blanche at the White House, which ended when Bush got in – ended for me anyway.

“When the new administration got into power, all my West Wing colleagues were invited there to meet their counterparts. All except me. I was very relieved about that.”

He received an honourary degree from NUI for his acting and “his consistent and meaningful engagement with civil society.”
