WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS (OR AT LEAST WHAT THIS ONE WANTS)
When I was stopped for a traffic violation recently here in Ohio, I wanted to ask the officer; “Are you a Buckeye?” Having been raised by a father who is a rabid Michigan fan, I was brought up to believe that Buckeyes are the reason for all the worlds’ evils. However, I chose not to use any “harmful” or “vitriolic” words. But hey, I wasn’t drunk either.
Okay, so everyone that knows me knows that I’m a diehard Mel Gibson fan. I endured some of his worst films. Think Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon IV. I kept his 1991 calendar hanging until at least the year 2000. So what am I to make of his crazy statements during his recent arrest? Was it because he was drunk? Was it because he turned 50 this year? Now, having turned 50 this year myself, I can understand how one starts to say and do crazy things.
I was watching MSNBC last night and even Tucker Carlson said that he didn’t think The Passion of the Christ was anti-Semitic, although in the same breath he said Mel was a lunatic.
Did Mel really mean what he said? Who knows? We all say and do things that we’re sorry for later. If he is truly sorry, and not just saying so as damage control for his film career, then I say let’s cut him some slack. I guess time will be the judge. I think I read in a book somewhere, “let he who is without sin…”
PS: Who uses the word “vitriolic” anyway????
Editor’s Note: Somehow I doubt my mom has seen these photos, taken less than an hour before his arrest, yet. Oh, Mel… WWJD?
