Another DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener

EXCLUSIVE! OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION! NO COVER-UP! LA County Sheriff’s Malibu/Lost Hills Station DUI Arrest Reports Contain Anti-Semitic Slurs Allegedly Made by Mel Gibson; He Apologizes For ‘Despicable’ ‘Out of Control’ ‘Not True’ Drunk Statements.

DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #412: Mel Gibson

Lt. Steve Smith, in charge of the detective bureau for the Malibu/Lost Hills station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, confirmed to me just now that “the contents seem to be similar” between the official reports and the four pages posted by TMZ.com on the Internet alleging Mel Gibson “blurted out a barrage of anti-Semitic remarks” — “fucking Jews” and “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” and asking the arresting deputy “Are you a Jew?” — during his DUI arrest early Friday morning.

Ah, yes…it’s the age-old combination that’s always good for a few good laughs: alcohol , car keys, and a bigoted DUMB@$$. Mel Gibson is only the latest iteration of this shining example of pathetic human frailty.

Of course, one of the functions of alcohol is to lower inhibitions, so that as consumption increases, the consumer becomes more likely to behave in ways they might not normally, but that more accurately reflects their true feelings and beliefs. If you believe this, then Mel Gibson really IS a horrible anti-Semite, and, all his protestations to the contrary, all the alcohol did was to bring this unsavory aspect of his personality to the fore. Nice, eh?

I don’t begrudge Gibosn his rather “out there” religious beliefs. He can even be an anti-Semite if he chooses. This is, after all, still (nominally, at least) a free country. If he chooses to make movies that reflect his beliefs and people pay to see them…hey, that’s what capitalism is, no? But when you allow alcohol to suppress your better instincts to the point where you can allow your ignorance, anti-Semitism, and bigotry free reign…well, that’s the stuff that DUMB@$$E$ are made of.

Gibson can throw himself on the mercy of the court of public opinion, but it’s not going to change the reality that he’s an a fool, an anti-Semite and a DUMB@$$. All the alcohol did was to loosen his tongue and give free reign to his truefeelings. No mea maxima culpa statement is going to change that…although it does a pretty good job of revealing what a truly pathetic excuse for a human being Mel Gibson is.

Gibson issued a lengthy statement today apologizing for his drunk driving arrest and saying he has battled alcoholism throughout his life. the Oscar-winning filmmaker also apologized for what he said were “despicable” “out of control” statements “that I do not believe to be true” made to the deputies who arrested him early Friday morning on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. But though his statement seems to confirm he made the anti-Semitic slurs, it does not specifically apologize for them. And that’s going to embroil him in even more controversy, I predict. “After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the LA County Sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said. Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health.” Gibson’s publicist Alan Nierob declined to elaborate beyond the statement.

Man, you just have to love a true DUMB@$$ in full damage control mode, don’t you? It’s just too bad that Gibson had to go and show the world what a truly miserable excuse for a human being he is. Then again, this is what happens when you combine too much alcohol, car keys, and an unreconstructed bigot and DUMB@$$.

Nice try, Mel….
