I think this is going to take a turn from comedy to tragedy sometime in the very near future. Up to now, it's been somewhat laughable, but this is a guy with serious addiction and emotional issues. The denials, deflection, and rage would seem very typical of an addict.
I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to say that this ends with him OD'ing, having a massive coronary attack or possibly taking his own life. The stress and scrunity have to be having an incredible impact.
I'm not saying this to defend him, I just think this could well end very badly, very quickly. At this point, the best outcome would be for him to simply resign. But that seems unlikely, and at some point, something may break.
