Mel Gibson blames alcoholism for his Anti-Semitism

Saturday, July 29, 2006

So, as the details of Mr. Gibson's behavior during his DUI arrest become public, his publicist has released this statement on his behalf:

"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 L.A. County sheriff's. 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 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."

Comment:

What a load of shit. Please. Alcohol does not turn you into a raving anti-semite. Alcohol loosens your lips and you say things you shoudn't say. If you are a racist or a bigot, you'll say things you can normally keep to yourself. But the alcohol doesn't make you a racist or a bigot. Nice try. Another thing, nice attempt by your publicist to try to make you seem like the victim here. If you are an alcoholic, go to a meeting; don't get into a car and go monkey-shit crazy on the LASD deputy who has to pull you off the road.

Assbag.
