Mel Gibson feeling the heat

Mel is sure taking a beating for his ill-chosen words while driving drunk.

$800 million in the bank... Wonder how much this will cost him.

STUPID!!

Mad Mel, …. Beyond Sobriety.

He really screwed himself with this deal. Disney dropped a miniseries deal, he may have a problem promoting the movie that’s supposed to be out later this year and his wife has to be tickled pink over the pictures of him in the bar with all the young ladies hanging all over him.

The real dumb part is the guy can afford a cab. Cab heck, he can afford a limo!

Everyone has made stupid mistakes. His are just very public. Heck, I wouldn't want some of the things I have done out in the public.

It’s definitely a case of one “Ah #*!&!” wiping out a thousand “That-a-boys!”

His wife...if knowing he's out in public drinking too much and trying to drive isn't enough to flip her switch, then seeing news reports of young ladies hanging all over him won't do it. Unless she's really stupid.

I can't imagine what he was thinkin'. He very obviously has the best opportunity to shape minds. So this is what he wants young people to see? Yuk! Exactly - he does live in a fish bowl - but a fish bowl of his own making. It's pretty irresponsible to know that and do what he did. How stupid. He slipped a couple of notches in my book. Even I know better than to do that. So why does he think he can do it and get away with it? Idiot.

I'm dissapointed but I gotta admit - hell he's even good lookin in the mug shot........... He looked pretty happy in booking to me............

He's human, so he was drunk and lost his inhibitions and spoke thru his ass rather than his brain........ who hasn't?? He's still a devoted family man and I say who cares??? Everyone of us has either made a bigot statemnt, laughed or told a bigot joke......... he's still an honorable man in rehab to me. At least he's not whompin bell hops with phones, throwin cell phones at maids, gettin caught in Europe snortin crack, or showin up in some video that becomes a movie................ He's talented and I will still enjoy his work........ and his committment to his family. He's still a good guy to me.

I feel like I have been under a rock or something...I know he was arrested for DUI and all, and from what I have seen on the news channels, he said or did something to offend Jewish peoples? What did he say? Every time I got in on the story, they were all talking about the consequences but I was always too late to hear exactly what it was...

Thanks for the link Highwayman. The reader comments were entertaining, too.
