From the Green Room: Mel Gibson

nice outfitOne thing you can say about Mel Gibson: the guy sure knows how to drink.

You have to appreciate someone who can pound Maker’s Mark, and not waste a perfectly good buzz by passing out. Because for entertainment value, there’s just nothing better than an angry drunk.  

Everybody remembers his anti-Semitic rant from a few years ago, complaining about how “the Jews” are responsible for all the wars in the world.  Well, it’s been awhile since Ol’ Whiskey Lips got off on another racist tangent, but just when you thought it was going to be a slow news week, here he comes, with a rape threat to his Russian ex-girlfriend, in which he uses the N-word,

Guess he’ll be withdrawing his bid to be Grand Marshall of the Brotherhood Week parade.   

Which is a shame, seeing as how he’s given the Jews and the Blacks something upon which they can finally build a bond of unity and harmony: a mutual loathing and disgust for him.  Not even LeBron could have done that. In Cleveland.

The latest revelation is that Mel used the pejorative, racist term “wetback” to describe one of his Hispanic staff members. At the rate he’s going, the only ethnic group he won’t have offended will be the Amish, and that’s only because they can’t get TMZ.  
What do you think is going on in his dark, fetid mind?  “Hey, I got a good idea…my last movie was a thundering turd, why don’t I alienate what’s left of my already virtually non-existent fan base?”

It’s just a shame Sammy Davis Junior isn’t still with us to take part in Lethal Weapon 5.

Because Danny Glover’s character Murtagh sums up the zeitgeist of the world when it comes to Mel, with the quote he’s used in all four Lethal Weapon Movies:

“I’m too old for this s***!”
