"You can't seriously want to ban alcohol. It tastes great, makes women appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism."

I can only link to the USA today article. The pics show Mel in party mode with the local hotties.
You come on... I don't hang out with racists. I assume you're sober, and willing to say anything to defend Mel Gibson. Maybe you'd do the same drunk, just louder.
I'm sure someone else has made that point about this too, but I hadn't read it before. Actually that makes perfect sense... I can picture it in my head. People constantly asking you if you're antisemitic, driving you crazy. You get drunk and the questions run through your head and you blurt out something you don't mean... Very interesting idea. Maybe I'm reaching because I just wanna believe he's a good guy at the heart of it all...
The guy is a closet alcoholic. When anyone is drunk ... all kinds of stuff out of character can happen or be said. I chalk this up to that. It was very stupid of Mel to have a night out like that.
Gibson has been an irritant to Hollywood for many years now. He would have been fine if he kept making the typical Hollywood fare like Lethal Weapon. But, Gibson started producing and directing movies that openly portrayed Christianity as a good thing. We were soldiers was a double whammy with Christianity and heroic American soldiers in Vietnam. The Patriot portrayed free black men fighting alongside revolutionary militiamen and even a minister.
Personally I think his real problem is alcohol.
Yeah, those are good, but
the Reader's Digest story
is amazing news:
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mel Gibson is in a lot of trouble now, but his problems began a long time ago.
"Two years ago, [!] Gibson gave an interview to former Republican speechwriter Peggy Noonan [!!] for Reader's Digest. Now the outtakes of that interview have been made available to this column.
"His unpublished remarks, according to the Digest’s publisher, are shocking. Gibson actually ridiculed the historically acknowledged number of Jews killed by Hitler. ..."
[Mel Gibson: Holocaust a 'Numbers Game’]
He's a genius all right.
You mean the ones that have so far been made public.
I'm not going out of my way to trash Mel, Mel's gone and got himself in the news here all of his own accord. I haven't even posted too much on these threads, but lately you can't get around the forum without tripping over a Mel thread and seeing some of the silly talk on them.
You are in love with an image you have of Mel, nothing more. I hope he doesn't shatter it.
Another thing that bothers me is the fact that no one is calling Hollywood on their overt anti Christian bigotry.
Very much agreed. It's ridiculous that they should be able to get away with it.
This doesn't have a thing to do with Hollywood, or anyone 'outing' him. Mel outed himself with his behavior.
Ah - such an optimist
I hear he has a temper
He'll beat you every night!
But only when he's sober!
So it's alright! ~Fiddler on the Roof...

LOL. Yep.
les.
i mean... beer goggles.
.12 isn't trashed, though he certainly looks it. Doesn't look very happy either, does he.
If alcohol was really a truth serum we'd just slip those dudes in gitmo a couple of pops and they'd spill everything.
