"Sorry. I don't believe this. Is there a tape of Mel saying this stuff?"

And why can't you believe that some rich Hollywood type would turn out to be a butthead when he's arrested for being a drunken driver?

Do you really think that "The Passion of the Christ" covers over anything else this Hollywood smartass does?

Get over it. Mel's just like the rest of them, apparently. Watch his movies, but don't deify the man.

No. I just think that he's not that stupid. With all the press about his father's antisemitism I just think he'd be more careful than this. I don't think he's a god, I just thought he was smarter than to let go with this tirade.

".....Hollywood smartass ...." Do you have something to back this up?

[Clara Lou]

You're awfully eager to believe all of this, even though the "TMZ" source is very questionable.

[italianquaker]

It is best to give the benefit of the doubt and not run with the hate, thats all.

God bless

"Watch his movies, but don't deify the man."

Excellent advice Mineral Man. They're all human. Some just have better publicists than others. ;o)

I don't choose to judge whether Mr. Gibson did or did not do what TMZ.com reported. I do know I've read several different pieces and each one of them cited TMZ.

Your statement seems to paint with a pretty broad brush though, I don't know who "the rest of them" are that you refer to.
