Kate Moss and Contrition

As an over-the-hill 31 year old fashion model, one has to admire her ability
to obtain valuable contracts from several fashion houses.

A supermodel who abuses drugs. That's a dog bites man story. What's really news here is that she was so out of it that she was photographed.

She's sorry she was caught. Does anyone think that she'd check into rehab if she wasn't photographed, or if the photos came out and she's wasn't dropped by H&M, Chanel, etc.?

I hope the rehab is successful. With the sort of money that she has earned, it's tragic that she can't be happy without using cocaine.

Perhaps that's a harsh judgment on my part, I've never been as rich as she is.

To make the point about how greed doesn't transform into happiness, I told the old joke: Money can't buy love, but it's a down payment.

Update: A writer at Slate: Kate Moss: The ironies of her downfall. extends this observation of hypocrisy to the entire industry.
