No one was surprised to hear that Charlie Sheen had befriended Lindsay Lohan and was helping her cover her tax bill. And it seems understandable that he’d occasionally go to dinner with a group of friends and an ex-wife like Denise Richards. But the winning warlock’s latest companion might come as a bit of a shock to some. According to a social media post from the “Anger Management” star, he was recently hanging with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
On Saturday morning, Sheen tweeted, “From Boyle Heights 2 Mayor of LA..! @hotelelganzo 2 party w/SHEEN at SheenZ..! Antonio Villaraigosa knows how to party!" The two famous faces both happened to be at the grand opening of the bar at the Hotel El Ganzo in San Jose del Cabo, Baja California, Mexico, last night. The guests were entertained at the blow out event with a live performance by Slash from Guns N’ Roses. But rather than snap a photo with the rock God, Sheen chose to sidle up to the elected official for his big photo op.
One can only imagine how Villaraigosa’s public relations team felt about the pic. Spending a bit of time with a high-powered guy might help legitimize Sheen. But being called out for his partying skills by one of Hollywood’s most notorious bad boys certainly isn’t going to boost the Mayor’s profile. What do you think: Is Charlie appropriate company for the Mayor?

Charlie knows how to call the shot's, he's been there done that. Then you get these "MORON'S that try to put word's in he's mouth and it just doesn't work that way, Charlie is quick with the way he say's something back that someone try's to make it sound like he said something he did not say.
So best of luck of those that even try !!
"THE MONGOOSE"
Times have changed. There is no more morals in politics.Clinton anyone?
aside from the cocaine and hookers, Charlie, by all Accounts is a decent guy. certainly not the first person to do drugs.
if the mayor IS hanging out with Charlie, hopefully he's not doing Cocaine as well, but he wouldn't be the first elected official to do drugs. I'm sure, during the eighties, there were a few officials on the RONALD REAGAN sponsered booger sugar.
it amazes me that people assail politicians who hang with actors but yet some of those same people think Reagan was our greatest President.
Also, Charlie Sheen is a fine actor but has succumbed to addiction and has exhibited horrendous behavior. That doesn't make him a bad person. When young people nowadays say they "partied with someone" the connotation has become one of using drugs!
They are serious semantic issues involved here before anyone is judged! Sodahead used the term in the title here so maybe sodahead can explain what it is that they were referring too and what proof they have. Please provide your eaders with more rinformation!!!~
You don't know either of these people well enough to know the extent of how much they help people. I would bet that all of the people pictured in this post have made a serious difference in more peoples lives than most people. Don't make judgments based on the fact that they party and like to have a good time.
People are allowed do have a good time and still be a good person. Good people have even more of a reason to party and celebrate.
What does Ted Kennedy being a party animal have to with his cousins sick urge to murder and rape on the beach? Do you have any relatives that party? Well, by your logic you must be inclined to rape and murder then.
Your reasoning is so full holes it's ridiculous. People who are good people or do good things aren't allowed to party with their free time?
Just because people like to socialize & party with people during their free time does not make them bad people. It seems to me that a good person would have even more of a reason to party and celebrate with some their free time.
You sound like a very bitter lonely person. Even you are not lonely, you sure don't seem like much fun to be around. What do you do with your free time when you are not working or helping your community? I bet you sit around at night making judgments about people who you see on TV and the Internet.
*BTW* You really need to work on your reasoning...
You said - "All liberal progressives are slimeballs. If you associate with slimeballs; then that makes you guilty of being a slimeball as well."
Bravo... You can't make it more clear that your opinion is based in hasty generaliza...

Bravo... You can't make it more clear that your opinion is based in hasty generalizations in stead of logic and reasoning.
You can think all you want sir, it does not make it correct. That is "guilt by association". Which is an inductive informal fallacy -a red herring which asserts that qualities of one thing are inherently qualities of another- merely by an irrelevant association.
You could be anyone.... liberal, conservative, foreign, a child, a mountain lion, it doesn't matter... You can still be a slime ball.
You can do good things or bad things and still be a slimeball.
So it's undeniable that you can a be a slimeball and party.
But that does not mean that you are a slimeball Because you party.
Get a hold of yourself for a second and stop impulsively throwing around insults. How can you call me a biased, illiterate, liberal, moron, if you don't even know me or anything about my beliefs? I do not hold biases of any kind and address everything from a neutral standpoint of doublethink. But you wouldn't know that or the fact that in my free time while not majoring in International Business I am a passionate student of Epistemology(the study of knowledge & understanding).
First of all I'm not trying to argue about who is and who isn't a liberal or a slimeball. I am not a liberal and never said anything about political associations. I'm just pointing out the flaws in your reasoning.You can't just call everyone whose idea's don't mirror your's a liberal fascist then call it good, that is not coherent reasoning.

But that does not mean that you are a slimeball---> Because you party.
I STILL THINK YOU SOUND BITTER BTW.... GET A LIFE
There is more to life than political affiliations.
I don't even have one at the moment and personally believe that as things are the heavy influence that political parties have on our Government is detrimental to democracy. We tend to distract & limit ourselves with focus on the two parties and lose sight of individuals what is best for society as a whole concerning the issues. I am non-partisan. I don't usually like to discus my personal political affiliation like I said earlier, but this is a place for discussing opinions.
Like I said above, I am not concerned with arguing about who is or who isn't a Liberal or a Slimeball. Just pointing out that you're being illogical.
I said - "Do you have any relatives that party? Well, **by your logic** you must be inclined to rape and murder then."
I did not say your family could be prone to murder and date rape. I said by YOUR LOGIC they do. It was an attempt to point how illogical it is to say.... From your original post... "Ted Kennedy was one of the top drunks and his cousin is in jail right now for raping and murdering that girl on the beach.All liberal progressives are slimeballs. If you associate with slimeballs; then that makes you guilty of being a slimeball as well."
You may have read my rebuttals but you don't seem to comprehend them very well. This whole time I keep saying that I am just arguing that you are illogical and unreasonable. You are proving me right...
I'm not trying to argue about anything political, but you seemed to be obsessed with political affiliations. If you really want to argue politics so badly then feel free to start the debate with what I have written below.

You and other people who are more concerned with what "side" someone is on, instead of the issues at hand, are exactly what is wrong with our current system. Get over your distorted view of how it should be and imagine an election focused on issues.
Don't judge me, I have convictions and values, who are you to say that I don't. Stop trying to label me and throw me in a box, you don't know me or my principals.
I'm not an independent, some of them are worse than liberals or conservatives... I'm non-partisan, I love democracy but don't like political parties. I like to focus on the issues, regardless of the buffoon and his party that I am forced to vote for to get my opinion counted.
I love our country and would do anything for it. But I don't believe our current form of government is exactly how it should be. We do not have a true democracy. Our choices or any actual impact on the government at all is very restricted, partially by the strict two party system we have in place. Our country is always growing, changing, and modernizing; our system government should be carefully improved in a relative manner to account for that. Currently our "Democracy" does not accomplish the following things for 100% of voting citizens.
1.Effective participation
Citizens must have adequate and equal opportunities to form their preference and place questions on the public agenda and express reasons for one outcome over the other.
2.Voting equality at the decisive stage
Each citizen must be assured his or her judgments will be counted as equal in weights to the judgments of others.
3.Enlightened understanding
Citizens must enjoy ample and equal opportunities for discovering and affirming what choice would best serve their interests.
4.Control of the agenda
Demos or people must have the opportunity to decide what political matters actually are and what should be brought up for deliberation.
5.Inclusiveness
Equality must extend to all citizens within the state. Everyone has legitimate stake within the political process.
Does the current two party system really represent an ideal Democracy?
We could do better.
