This Rob Schneider? The one who does the USO tours to visit our Troops in Iraq? I like the guy.

Mel's reply should be: "I would not hire Schneider anyway, he has no talent."

Rob Schneider saying he will never work with Gibson? Ha ha ha! I`m suprised this idiot even gets work.
Hey if you think this is crazy, read this..They don`t waste any time do they?.......
Group Seeks Gibson Boycott Billboard
A group of Los Angeles residents who are trying to post an anti-Mel Gibson billboard advertisement insists it is getting nowhere - because they are convinced media companies don't want to alienate the lucrative star. The group has been trying to buy a billboard that features Gibson's mug shot with the word "no" over it in red. They are trying to secure space on the city's famous Sunset Boulevard and have been repeatedly turned down once billboard companies learn the content of the proposed billboard. Publicist Andy Behrman, who is spearheading the effort, tells website TheScoop.com, "We wanted to make a statement that anti-Semitism is not OK in Hollywood - or anywhere else. They tell us it will be fine, and then when they learn we want to protest Mel Gibson, there's suddenly some problem." Behrman says he even got an OK to erect the billboard on August 15 - until ad space bosses learned all about the protest. He adds, "I got a call back saying, 'My boss doesn't want to touch this Mel Gibson thing.'"
Just curious...How many billboards did they attempt to put up when Sharpton or Jackson say something anti-semitic, which seems to be an annual thing with those two? Or how many when Hellary kissed Suha Arafat, or when the Paul Fray, Dick Morris stories came out? How many billboards did they put up when Rep. Jim Moran (D) a few years ago made an anti-semitic remark, how many billboards do they try to put up when yet another Hollywood liberal bashes Israel for being the cause for all the trouble in the middle east? It seems to me, except for substituting "Jews" for "Israel", all Mel Gibson did was say the same exact thing, yet they don`t waste anytime whatsoever trying to destroy the guy, who seesm to me to be quite destroyed already.
ROTFL....
I'm pretty sure it was joke. Mel probably laughed for the first time in days.
"I think this is typical Schneider humour..."
No wonder nobody thinks it's funny...
"I read somewhere that Gibson has fought a few personal demons in his life. This DUI episode may be a symptom of one or two of them."
Yup. Making "The Passion of The Christ" was a result of his giving up the party life and settling down with his family and his faith. He said his bad habits were catching up with him. Perhaps this is a result of him backsliding into his bad habits from stress, or he needed rehab before and this was inevitable. God knows he's fighting the demons of Hollywood who want him to fail, because he made fools out of every single one of them with "Passion".
I'd love to know what he was involved with the week before this incident. I have a feeling he was locking horns with movie execs over something, and the stress got to him in a big way.
I've seen Hollywood up close and personal, and the top people tend to be Jewish. Always have been, it's the unspoken reality of the movie biz. It's not racist to say it, it's true. Weinstein, Speilberg...the names tell the tale. It's not like he declared a jihad on them, he just pointed out the VERY obvious to anyone who's been around Hollywood more than a few months.
As for Rob, bravo - a stupid, tongue-in-cheek stunt, but very funny. He dropped some pretty coin to take out a full page ad, so he can't be doing that bad. (He's probably doing well, he works constantly, owns a club (DNA Lounge) in San Franciso, and doesnt seem to be part of teh "entourage" crowd that requires millions just to look good (hangers on, the houses, the cars, the surgery, the wardrobe, 3 managers, 3 personal assistants, etc...)
Good for Rob. He may be schlock, but it's GOOD schlock. :)
And it's time for Hollywood to get over themselves. Their movies suck, their people suck worse, and the whole things need a good, hard scrubbing. I'd bet any amount of money that every single one of them have uttered worse, without having to be drunk - I've witnessed actors behaving badly, to go after Mel like this is farcical.
Well, if one is judged by the quality of their enemies then poor Mel is really in trouble with this one.
How did Rob ever get his head out of Adam Sandler's butt anyhow?
Jeepers. I wonder who Mel is going to hire when he needs a talentless mini-dork now?
This was intended as a joke, of course.
LOL
Well I guess that's good news for all of us. Rob Schneider sucks. He's not an actor. He's a prop that directors use when they want to get cheap laughs from 15 year-olds.
Al Franken also visits the troops with the USO.
I belive there is more to this story than is reported. Why on Earth would anyone say the following if stopped by the police?
"the "F*****g Jews…The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Then, he is said to have demanded of Mee "Are you a Jew?"
It doesn't make sense. Why did he say it? Who knows. I think maybe it's some kind of crazy publicity stunt.
The last thing I heard is that he is asking for dialog with Jewish leaders.
Here's my prediction... He's going to get his dialog with Jewish leaders; that's something that would hardily be news worthy if he simply asked for it.
The whole thing is going to culminate with a big touchy-feely thing to reiterate the common ground between Christians and Jews.
Isn't this what's known as "McCarthyism"?
Or that there was that much to begin with.
What Schneider said about Ebert was right. So was what Ebert said about Schneider.
It's like Celebrity Death Match -- all these annoying people taking each other on.
