The Passion of the Cuffs
Phillip Dampier:
Mel Gibson blames Jews for all wars in the world, demands to know if the officer placing his drunk-butt in the back of the police car is one, and then refers to a female police officer as "sugar tits." And that is the nice stuff.... First the Holocaust denier father, then a movie that was a darling epic for the Christian right and suspiciously anti-semitic, and then his Salad Shooter epithet episode this past weekend.
And the debate rages on as to whether he actually meant any of it because drunk people say crazy things. Having been around a few overly "festive" people, I find this incredible because most of what I hear from the "blow a 2.0" crowd is just the insertion of more emphasis on the things they already believe.
"I like you" becomes "oh I really love you man and I can't live without you (insert sobbing)" or "my wife drives me crazy" becomes "I will cut her if she opens her mouth one more time."
So I guess that means when sober he thinks that Jews cause most of the occasional verbal skirmishes in the world and that that officer's breasts weren't really made of sugar, just Splenda.
Two words: career ender.
Front-Ranger:
Let's hope.

He wasn't that drunk. As a lifetime drunk/drinker/recovering alcoholic, his alcohol tolerance should be a lot higher than the .12 or whatever it was.
En vino veritas. He believes those things about Jews, he likes to be crude toward women. He's an outback redneck two-fisted drinking low-life in his 'real' life, talking about and solving the world's problems with his mates in the pub after a hard day's work laying asphalt or unloading semi-trucks on the docks before showing up at church with a hangover and going home to the trailer home full of the wife and screaming litter of kids.
That's what he SHOULD be. But he's not, and he gets in trouble when he drinks.
David:
I have to agree that booze just magnifies a persons true inner personality.
I'm sure that he IS sorry he said all those things. Sorry that all those things he believes are true came out in public!
Career breaker? Maybe, maybe not. He is rich enough to produce his own movies. But considering that alot of important people in Hollywood are Jewish, he will not be getting any breaks soon.
oh! Can you imagine if he were to show up at the Oscars next year? I'd make him a presenter along side of.....Harvey Fierstein !
GG:
I think they said he has just started drinking again after fifteen years of sobriety. That's really too bad. He is one of my favorites. I've read he's a wonderful family man .(maybe when he's sober)
People make mistakes. Seems like he's going to be paying for this one for a long time.
I personally wish him well.
