I'm bipolar, and there are certain jobs that I will not argue that I should be screened from. Bipolar has effects on your emotions, and there are a lot of jobs out there where you absolutely have to have your emotions in check at all times.
I would make the argument that being on a talk show would be one of them. You are, in essence, the face of network or broadcast corporation that you represent. If your emotions cannot be trusted 100% of the time, then why would a talk show want you representing them in front of hundreds of thousands of people, including sponsors and critics?
Even more so in dangerous jobs such as law enforcement, military positions, firefighting, etc, etc, etc.
But never once have I walked out the door and had the urge to sleep with a 14 year old. That has absolutely nothing to do with being bipolar. In fact, I would like to slap that woman in the face for even attempting to make that connection, because all she's going to do is make the rest of us look bad if anyone is stupid enough to believe her.
Her excuse is extremely lame, she is a complete moron, and her bipolar had nothing to do with sleeping with a child. The fact that she is just an otherwise sick person who lacks certain morals is why she did what she did.
In other situations, fine, there is a bipolar paradox. But not this one.
