I grew up with an alcoholic father (kicked him out of my life 8 years ago cause of it too) so I know exactly what you are talking about. The tongue of a honest hateful drunk person can be brutally painful and the pain can last forever. I don't think for a moment that he didn't mean what he said. I think that he will have a "career" after this but I don't think it will ever be the same, most people who make this type of error in judgement are often history in a short matter of time from what I have heard.
