Just Blame Everybody Else

As usual, Andrea Peyser cuts through the spin: Whitney Houston is to blame for her own death, just as Elvis was, and Michael Jackson, and Anna Nicole Smith, and many others. They had the money and means to get help -- if they really wanted it. And obviously they didn't really want it. I hate hearing the word "tragedy" used. A tragedy isn't self-inflicted, it's when something is done to you. The news today that the terrific Mets catcher Gary Carter died of brain cancer -- now that's a tragedy!
