Did Arnold Burn Victims with Illness?

Did Tom Arnold leave some Iraq war vets and Ed McMahon in the lurch when he backed out of a scheduled appearance with them? Not true! We're told a severe illness prevented him from showing up.

TMZ has learned that Arnold was enlisted by McMahon himself to appear at a screening of "This Is War," a documentary about seven US soldiers who were burned over 90% of their bodies during combat. Because Tom said he would show, organizers tell us FOX TV, Spike TV, and Sea Allure agreed to fly the soldiers out by private jet to the screening last weekend. But twice before the event, we're told, Arnold had to reschedule and then had to bail out just two hours before red carpet rolled.

A source in Arnold's camp said that he had a stomach virus that was so severe that it landed him in the hospital. He was totally helpless to show up, even though he really wanted to do so, and had assured McMahon that he would. It was all unfortunate timing.

I met Tom Arnold at Caesar's Palace in Vegas, when he knocked me over in the lobby. His hair was dyed a really un- natural dark brownish black , and he looked like he had been up all night . Maybe that's why he pushed me out of the way, and kept going, after making a nasty comment ! People walking through couldn't believe it ! They were saying, "Did you hear that ? What a jerk ! " I'm not a Pap, and didn't ask for an autograph, I was dressed nicely . I'm 72. What is his deal ?

If you watch him on Redneck Wedding he looks and sounds like he's had a damn stroke. Too much freakin booze and drugs for Tommy.
