Have some waifers with that wine
I was out of town this weekend, but returned to Los Angeles to find Mel Gibson had practically written my next blog post for me.
As everyone knows, he was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving and, according to the original police report (a later version omitted the worst behavior of the escapade), Gibson went off about owning Malibu and blamed the Jews for all wars (even the War of the Worlds?), then asked the arresting deputy if he was Jewish.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. It says right there on the bottle: According to the surgeon general, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy. Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car, and may result in anti-Semitic rants.
It's said that you can't be put in jail for being an idiot, but you can be put in the newspaper. This is a lesson that Mr. Gibson apparently hasn't learned in all his years in Hollywood.
Gibson apologized in a statement and said he regretted some of his words, but didn't clue us in on what those words were.
I wish him a recovery from his drinking problem, as well as a quick turnaround for his thinking problem.
