Gibson -- Not Yet Toast

Diane did her best to keep an even tempered interview, and Melvin did his best to blame it all on alcohol. I think it's just awful that a wonderful thing like booze should have to take the brunt of criticism for what is in fact low life racial hatred.

What will all of this accomplish? Gibson will never change who or what he is. He will still have made millions at the expense of ready made deep seated anti-semitism, and very few moviegoers who have seen "The Passion" will walk away from Gibsongate feeling any differently about it than they did right after they saw it. It was hate propaganda, as surely as the passion plays were in the middle Ages. The damage is done, and nothing Melvin can say will change that.

Tune in tomorrow and watch how he squirms out of this mess in classic Hollywood style. I think he's going to do it, or why would he ever go there in the first place. I might tape it, and only listen to it; I just can't stand to look at him.
