Mel Gibson calling up Jews to apologize

“Braveheart on line 1. He wants to say he’s sorry for accusing you of having killed Christ.”

Funny. Funnier: if he were calling up random Jews. Just flipping through the white pages, looking for names that end in “stein.”

And if that isn’t enough of a prompt for a new bit at Protein Wisdom, I don’t know what is.

“…he wanted them to know that he was really sorry and he was working on his ‘problem.’”

His problem being that no one wants to be seen with him anymore. There goes The Passion of the Christ sequel eh?

So is Mel becoming the anti-Frisch?

Mad Mel. The Economists take on this story.

Apparently the Jewish acquaintances (anonymous) feel the need to continue punishing him by talking to the press. How nice of THEM!! And while Mel implores his Higher Power, they speak to their inner self.
If those who refuse your apology, move on, as you are a better person than they (i.e., screw em).

Uhh has anyone figured that this is EXACTLY what Gibson would do if he really believed all the “Jew” conspiracy theories?

If you buy into them, you’d think: “Holy Sh*t! These guys run the world and now theyre onto me! I had better wave that white flag high or else they’ll do to me what they did to Christ! I mean, look at how they managed to plant that Jew cop who pulled me over and nearly put me in jail!

If anything I think the incident confirmed his beliefs and merely replaced his vague conspiracy theories with tangible fear.

Imagine someone saying drunkenly that YOU were responsible for “all the wars in the world”. Just you, not your race, ethnicity, religion or any other thing, just you. What would YOU do? Would you receive his “apology” with open arms? Especially if the only time he sought help for his mental problem regarding his hidden hatred of YOU, were after he was busted for a DUI? As an American of African descent, AND a 20 yr member of the Screen Actors Guild, I would be devastated if the world Jew in Mel’s rant were replaced by, oh say, the “N” word. How would I ever think this man respects me, or people like me, again? God bless Mel if he is truly repentant. But I know that if he were talking about me…forgiving him would be the biggest challenge I could possibly imagine.

Is it just me or is Mel looking a bit like Saddam in the pic on the sidebar?

It’s not you, wook. First thing I thought too.

This just in: Mel beaten by palestinian woman in hollywood for apologizing to her and calling her a jew.

film at eleven.

I bet that’s his next movie… Passion of the Madman in the Bunker

Wow, he looks awful!

Boring…

Can we get an article on the DREAM act? Giving states that gave illegas in state tuition a pass would be at least a little interesting…

Coverage on Kansas politics, the RINO’s leaving the party for more liberal shores…

The North American Union maybe?…

MM is on vacation not Hotair.

These “anonymous” leakers are probably them same guys who told Mel to take a hike when he pitched The Passion to them. They’re just pissed they passed up on all that filthy lucre
