Mel Apologizes to the Jewish Community

The Drudge Report has posted an apology from Mel Gibson specifically aimed at Jews. In part it says, "There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of Anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge."

Even more interesting, Mel goes on to talk about deep-seated anti-semitic feelings he may have: "I am in the process of understanding where those vicious words came from during that drunken display, and I am asking the Jewish community, whom I have personally offended, to help me on my journey through recovery."

It sounds pretty sincere, but who knows.

it sounds sincere, but the fact is that alcohol releases your inhibitions, so this must be what he really feels and thinks. he's a celebrity, 9 times out of 10, he's going to apologize to protect his rep.

Everyone's repentant once they’re caught in the act. I cringe to imagine a meeting between him and "leaders of the Jewish community." Who does he have in mind? Maybe Ehud Olmert will take a break from Lebanon to help with the healing. After all, it's all about Mel.
