Now granted, there have been rumors about Gavin boozing it up for a long time. And there have been all sorts of stories about him doing Mayoral type things while being a little incapacitated. But still, the whole "seeking counseling" thing is such a cliché-- it's always the second thing PR people tell people who've screwed up to do, right after apologizing. It's what everybody is doing whenever they get in trouble because it's a way of pretending be responsible without actually being responsible. Unless, of course, he really needs it.
Whatever-- we wish Gavin good luck anyways.
