(As of 8:54 am Eastern Time, the headline and URL say "Mels" Gibson, so if the link doesn't work for you in the future, take out that s and see what happens.)
Remember last year's Michael Jackson trial, and how all these D-list celebrities came out of the woodwork to defend his honor? That's what this smells of. I don't recall the two of them being BFF, and you'd think that if they were, Mel would throw a part or two Patty's way.
Alcohol lowers your inhibitions; it does not transform you into a different person. For example, I love the British. I like British comedy, I like British food, I love the accents, I love it all. If I'm drunk and get arrested by a British cop, the first words out of my mouth are not, "Are you British? You fuckin' limeys start all the wars in the world! You're out to get me!"
And "having one too many with the boys" is much different from "driving while intoxicated."
Y'know, dammit, I don't even care that much about celebrities. I don't give a fuck who's screwing who or who got a nose job or who's closeted or who's out and who got arrested for what. But the underlying issues of this whole thing just bug the shit out of me.
