Insensitivity is generally not a hanging offense in this country. Gibson was wrong and thoughtless — and he might ought to apologize for any feelings he may have hurt. But, ultimately, this really isn’t that big a deal.

Actually, imho, it is a big deal. No one should mock the death of another human being. Period. Gibson made himself and Fox News look like raging sociopaths. The image that Gibson presented is not responsible journalism and he is doing a disservice to himself, Fox News and the conservative movement.
John’s ranch is a couple of miles from mine. Between us lived a very sweet old lady that passed away Saturday. She did more good in this world than any Hollywood pretty-boy. Maybe Gibson doesn’t think much of another celebrity drug death. There will be another soon, I’m sure.
A Media spokesman has to be circumspect in what is said.
Rush lost his football colorman position for less than what Gibson said, as did Imus, Howard Cossell, all from high profile positions, etc.
