Mel's New Excuse: "I Can't Take Criticism"

Keith Olbermann points out Mel Gibson's latest bungling, miserable stupidity.

He drank because he was so upset that his film, "The Passion of The Christ", was so poorly received by critics [gee, as a professional writer, I've had to cope with rejection and criticism; is Mel not a professional? Or maybe it's just a question of exactly what he's a pro doing]. Apparently it didn't matter that the extreme right wing fell at his feet - like Mel was Jesus resurrected with The Rapture at hand - babbling garbled Aramaic.

Ah, but I'm not done. Can you discuss Mel without discussing Mel's complete meltdown on Jews? [I know, like Jews haven't suffered enough without having Mel thrust upon them.]

But that's sort of the point; as Mel demanded forgiveness for his "drunken idiot" tirade, he just had to slip something else in, according to "Countdown with Keith Olbermann".

Saith the Gospel According to Old Ham..er.. Mel:

"It's not like the Jews are blameless here."

Uh... I dunno, Mel. I think you can be an idiot all on your own, without having to rouse one Jew out of bed to listen to your ever-so-insincere apologies. You didn't mean them right after the incident with the cops, you didn't mean them last month, and you don't mean them now.

We've got your number, Mel. Problem is, nobody's much interested in calling it anymore.

Hell's gonna have a special place for you, Mel - but probably without your hair plugs and dental veneers.
