Sick Sad Week: The Best of the Worst of the Week that Ended July 30, 2006

The Passion of the Gibson

Pity poor Mel Gibson. First he’s attacked for making an anti-semitic movie about the famous Jew of all time, then he’s forced to defend himself against the sins of his father, a dedicated and outspoken Holocaust denier. Now it’s gotten even worse. Mel Gibson was arrested on DUI charges, and as if that weren’t enough it is has now gone beyond the rumor stages to the probably true stage that he went on an profanity-laden anti-semitic rant during his arrest. A copy of an allegedly authentic police report claims that Mel Gibson asserted that the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Mel, Mel, Mel…if only you’d said that the Jews are responsible for the current war you wouldn’t be facing the prospect that your career is about to come to an end simply because there are some people in Hollywood who might consider you a fascist little Nazi. But to say that the Jews are responsible for all the wars? I don’t even think Hitler would have bought that.

Just who is responsible for writing all that Wikipedia content?
