Doug's an enabler, I think, and I doubt he's been all that pushy about Rob doing much of anything. I think he makes almost as many excuses for his brother's behavior as Rob does and any time he's given some piss poor soundbite, it has all the strength of weak tea. I don't buy that he didn't know about the crack use. Besides, from all appearances, Rob doesn't really listen to him anyway.
If anyone should be crawling up his ass about this, from his family, it should be his wife. Were I in her shoes, I'd have been telling him to clean his #### up or hit the grass a long time ago - and now with the stuff coming out about prostitutes and him blathering about 'getting laid?' Hit the road, Jack.
However, with addicts, and I find it fairly doubtful that he isn't, contrary to his vociferous bleating to the contrary, he's only going to change if he wants to, not because of what anyone else says or does - which would be a shame, since his marriage seems to be the only thing not in the news these days. However, given what's coming out, as I said in the above paragraph, I imagine it won't be long until that's in the news too.
I feel most sorry for his kids.
