Look at this guy. After being hospitalized for alcoholism and hepatitis for more than a month, yesterday Maradona emerged from a Buenos Aries psychiatric facility clad in a Boca Juniors shirt like some kind of conquering hero.
What a tool.
This saga has been the biggest celebrity news story of 2007 in Argentina, where Maradona is worshiped by many as some sort of demigod. His hospitalization led to an absurd amount of press coverage and rumors of his imminent death. Of course, this story is nothing new, as Maradona has been battling cocaine and alcohol addiction for more than a decade.
Last night Maradona appeared on the program ShowMatch, claiming that the rumors of his impending death were untrue and claiming,
“Quiero ponerme bien, dejar el mal trago atrás, no soy un borracho”That roughly translates, "I want to get better, leave the evil drink behind, I am not a drunk." It would be nice to believe him, but you can consider me firmly entrenched in the "skeptical" camp. I might be wrong, but this looks like a face that still wants a drink.
