40cakesPatrick Swayze Defends Mel Gibson
(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.

But this is Mel Gibson, the director of that brutal action film Passion of the Christ, where Jews with literally hooked noses execute our Lord.
Between that and the interview his Father gave saying that the Jews were responsible for blah blah blah, he has had so much tap dancing to do just to say he isn't an anti-semite.
That he gets loaded and IMMEDIATELY goes back to the Jewish thing... I wonder how many times you can actually get a PR team to make the world forget something before it just doesn't work anymore.

I've done my fair share of drinking (and several other people's shae) and I've never undergone any 'transformation' or said something I didn't already believe (I think the closest I've gotten to Mel's style ranting was to complain about, "that bitch Kim Jong Il" once.
Alcohol just reveals the truth of the person.
And I simply despise drunk driving.
