What a Mel-ee This Has Turned Into

I really don't want to waste a lot of font on DWI Man Mel Gibson who, in my opinion, has always been a phenomenal waste of time. But I was rather pissed that police charged him only with the least of his reported offenses from last Friday early AM's traffic stop, letting him walk on the two times he actively tried to escape custody, with assaulting one of the deputies, and some of the other chicanery.

Then he hires a big-shot lawyer NOT because he needs the legal help, per se, because the sheriff's department didn't charge him on any of the felonies he apparently committed, but just to keep the video of his traffic stop from appearing before the public.

What a jerk! What's "funnier" is to hear the far right go to bat for him. A woman named Jennifer Giroux appearing on Scarborough Country last night stepped over all the other guests to "protect" Mel, implying it was "an evil plot by Christ killers" to hurt this man of God. I thought she was going to attack the rabbi that was on as she kept telling him that "men like you" try to revise history" so people won't know the truth: that you killed Christ!" This is a paraphrase; unfortunately, her actual words and behavior were even worse. I don't know where they dug her up from.

And that esteemed brain trust, Dr. Phil, on Leno last night said nobody should fault Gibson for one little thing he said late at night after a couple of beers. Like I said: true brain trust. Just remember that Oprah once told us that he was like the smartest man she had ever met. Tells you something about Oprah, no?
