William Bennett on his gambling: “I play fairly high stakes. I adhere to the law. I don’t play the ‘milk money.’ I don’t put my family at risk, and I don’t owe anyone anything.” Bennett said he did not have a problem himself and likened gambling to drinking alcohol… “I view it as drinking,” he said. “If you can’t handle it, don’t do it.”
But when you visit casinos for two or three days at a time, how can it not be a problem that’s affecting your life? This guy’s likely addicted but he can’t see it. Hopefully, his family will use some of that tough love to make him see it.
