What's The Big Deal?

They all acknowledge from the get-go that he's plastered, and conduct the interview accordingly. And as a matter of fact, I think DeVito did a pretty good job considering he was plowed.

give the guy a break

He's like 4 feet tall. That's got to keep his alcohol tolerance pretty low.

David Puner comes across as some kind of British middle-class Methodist. De Vito's smashed state was a given from the start. Most drunks are tedious and offensive: he was funny and cute and everybody had fun except your tight-sphinctered editor.

It is the holidays, he is a celebrity, he wasn't rude, I don't get what the big deal is...I wish the rest of the world was this pleasant when drinking and inflicting themselves upon others...

I am in the wrong line of work.
