The major rpoblem with mel Gibson's tirade and drunkeness has not been the DUI, but rather the anti-semitic rant he went on (which is notably absent from your list of quotes). He repeatedly said things such as "F***ng jews, the jews are responsible for all the wars in the world". That is the controversy, not a percieved liberal bias that is trying to make a bigger deal out of a conservative drunk driving and a liberal drunk driving. Mel has a relatively low bail (5,000), and will also likely recieve just a slap on the wrist. So you are completely and utterly incorrect about what you posted, and the NY Times has said nothing of note about the case.
ReplyDeleteYo, "Anonymous"-
ReplyDeleteInfo on the rant didn'y come out til long after I posted, hence its "notable absence."
Thanks for the courageous post--"Anonymous."
"Gibson, who apologized Saturday for making "despicable" remarks in what was described as an anti-Semitic tirade after a drunk driving arrest, in some ways now finds himself at the mercy of a Hollywood establishment that may or may not be inclined to extend forgiveness."
ReplyDeleteI would first like to take note of the day. It would be Saturday, the same day as your post. Secondly, calling me a coward beause I did not sign my post is really because I can not sign it as a blogger or other because I have no blog/web page. But I will i sign this one.

ReplyDeleteWhere's your "e" by the way? DIH
