This "apology" nonsense is amazing. What was the apology for anyway?
"Sorry, I got caught"
Mel Gibson should either STICK TO his belief that "Jews cause all wars," or go on to REJECT his belief that "Jews cause all wars."
These apologies just mean he is sorry that he got caught saying it.

Mel Gibson should either STICK TO his belief that "Jews cause all wars," or go on to REJECT his belief that "Jews cause all wars." Very well stated. If Gibson had any integrity, he would leave Hollywood and go join the jihad. He is in Hollywood for only one thing: Money. He is addicted to Jewish money more than to alcohol.
I suspect that is what drives him to drink. He hears his father's voice saying, "Mel, how can you take money from those Jews?"

Do you read?
First he was drunk. Second, he wasn't making a public speech or even a private group of people - it was one cop while totally drunk and being arrested. Third, he said he did not believe the things he said and apologized for WHAT HE SAID extensively. He didn't make excuses for his behavior other than saying he has a serious problem that needs addressed. And apparently he's addressing it.

If you can find a "sorry I got caught" in this, you have a much better eye than I do.
The following is the complete text of Mel Gibson's statement regarding his arrest for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol:
"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the L.A. County sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person.
"I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said and I apologize to anyone who I have offended.
"Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry.
"I have battled the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."
No one has to accept his apology. But no one has the right to mischaracterize it.
