    He should have just blamed weed...

    Gibson says ‘Passion’ criticism triggered tirade
    Director tells Sawyer Israel ‘not blameless in the conflict’ with Lebanon

    LOS ANGELES
    - Mel Gibson said in an interview his anti-Semitic tirade last summer may have been set off by criticism of his 2004 movie "The Passion of the Christ" even before its release and by Israel's war in Lebanon.

    In the interview broadcast Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Gibson also said he was "ashamed" by his remarks about Jews after his drunken-driving arrest, explaining that "when you're loaded, you know, the balance of how you see things — it comes out the wrong way."

    ...

    "Let me be real clear here, in sobriety, sitting here in front of you on national television," Gibson told Sawyer, "I don't believe that Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. I mean, that's an outrageous, drunken statement."

    ...

    He said his words may have come from resentment following criticism he received before the release of "The Passion of the Christ."

    "Now even before anyone saw a frame of film, for an entire year, I was subjected to a pretty brutal sort of public beating," he said. "And during the course of that, I think I probably had my rights violated in many different ways as an American, as an artist, as a Christian, just as a human being."

    Blah. blah. blah, lots of excuses and little apologies.

    I'd say it was Anti-Semitism that triggered the tirade.

    We all know alcohol removes inhiibitions, eg "liquor is quicker".

    The liquored-up, uninhibited, true Mel is anti-Semitic.

    After listening to these guys a long time ago, I decided after an interview or two, both Mel and Tom were as stupid as they were self-confident. They believe their own uninspected bull . Sitting on a few $100M drives a lot of people crazy.

    Nah, Tom Cruise is not over.
    The guy has too much money, power and talent to be over.

    He's an experienced producer even if he never acted again.

    Anyhow, sorry, back to the subject.

    Think again. Your man Bill is still the most popular ex-president alive and I'll bounce back quicker than Bill can hit on a woman.

    Let's see:

    Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. Wow! Being the most popular ex-president alive is some contest.

    I wonder when they launch the U.S.S. William J. B. Clinton? It'll probably be a submarine.

    Why do you hate Clinton so much?

    After all, he was the president while the economy had one of its biggests runs in recent history.

    He helped make all those rich republicans you love so much even richer.

    You should idolize the man.

    It seems like this Yonivore hates everything successfull about the democratic party. Seems to me he's confused as to where he stands. He flip flops facts to his liking and everything, everything is always on the bright side of his view. It is clear he is just a blind follower and does not know how to lead on his own. It is actually very sad in today's world.

    OOOOO he insulted someone while drunk, you tell me one person that hasn't done that before. He should just be happy he didn't insult Muslims or there would be ALOT of Aussies with no heads right now.

    You mean like Teddy and his son. Oh, I forgot, nothing to do with
    anti-semitism, just taking a swim and headed to the house for a vote.
