Thanks, I knew it was a Scientology thing. Which comes first, being an ass, or becoming a scientologist? It's intolerance no matter how you slice it. The fact that his criticism was consistent with his "religion" makes him no less of a schmuck for commenting publicly on it. If he were a Jehovah's Witness would he criticize, I don't know, Gary Busey for getting a blood transfusion to save his life after the umpteenth time he crashed his motorcycle without wearing a helmet? Brooke Shields was, according to her account, so depressed she could barely care for her child or bond with her. It seems to me that whatever help a person gets in that situation should be lauded, not criticized. The very point of Brooke Shields's publicizing her problem is that post-natal depression is something for which many women don't seek help. She was trying to remove a stigma (something I really don't understand -- I've been depressed and gotten help for it, although I preferred not to use AD's -- what's the big deal in admitting that?) and he was trying to create one.
He's a schmoe.
