Mel Gibson a drunkie?

[Abeguy]

well, Mel Gibson, probably known best for his Passion of the Christ movie, has been arrested for DUI, apparently going 87 in a 45 mph zone, or something like that. facing 6 months...wow, 6 whole frikkin months in jail. What would happen if, say, me, Abeguy, drove 87 in a 45 zone. would there be a difference in judgement? not that that is the discussion, just here to talk about Mel Gibson...the party animal

Already discussed here.

But this reminds me of the time when the former Victorian (ie the state where I live) premier (think equivalent of Prime Minister at state level) Jeff Kennett was pulled over for speeding and the cops let him off when they saw who he was and claimed they hadn't calibrated their speed-gun.

Yes but Jeff Kennett never called anyone "Sugar-Tits"... Ha ha ha

He looked like Saddam in his picture with the beard or George Clooney's character in Syriana.

Would you put Jesus in for any longer?

Has anyone seen the public service announcement with Mel in uniform? I almost laughed my ears off..Thank you TMZ.com

Sigh h's just become another washed up actor. Trying to push himself back into the limelight...

I heard about Mel Gibson's arrest on the John & Jeff Show and they seemed to be citing it from TMZ.com. They were bagging especially on his releasing a second apology after realizing that the first lacked referral to his anti-Semitic statements. Therefore, I wholeheartedly say that the entire Mel Gibson apology thing is pure horseshit and that he's only doing that because he's a celebrity and doesn't want bad publicity...

I've always respected Mel Gibson's acting ever since his voiced role in Pocahontas... and today, I admire that he's seeking forgiveness from the Jews for his drunken incident:

On the Jew thing:
When your dad is a Holocaust minimizer/denier and your last movie was excoriated for having one hook-nosed Jew caricature after the other you kind of have to cover your ass, okay? Even if you don't mean it, even if everyone thinks its total crap, you have to do it. There is no other way: You have to apologize
On Sugar Tits: Seriously awesome, I hope this phrase sticks around for a good long time. Remember how long the whole "Brokeback" trend lasted? I want this to last at least a 100 times longer.
On the issue in general: Normally I'd let this slide. .012 BAC is NOT that high, its like 2 beers every hour for a man Mel's size. But the fact that he resisted arrest, insulted and threatened officers, talked shit about Jews, drove impaired 2 other times and just acted like a dick in general about it? No, no way. He's got to pay for this. If this was a first time affair without the obscene, racist, and booze drenched assholery I'd let it slide. Not now.
