As Christopher Hitchens just pointed out on the BBC, Fleet Street (UK) journalists have spilt more in a pub session than Mel Gibson had drunk the other night. He was just over what was is a very low limit; the limit is as it should be, but he wasn't very drunk. It is with some sadness that I realise I think he thinks what he said. I also think it will affect his box office returns, but I expect he has enough money to retire with, even though that won't stop his publicists trying to rescue his career.Tuesday, August 01, 2006
Mel Gibson

Everyone has an inner demon; sometimes its coaxed out through the liberal use of alcohol. In Mel's case, he used a decent tequila to lubricate his demon, anti-semitism, right out of him. I'm looking forward to his next verbose "apology."
ReplyDeleteMy inner demon is promiscuity. What's yours?
Mine is cheese, usually blue, but sometimes reeely runny brie!
