Gibson In Control and Sober

Mel Gibson has not been drinkingMel Gibson is not downing brewskys. Gibson's über-publicist Alan Nierob tells TMZ news reports that his client was seen at a bar drinking beer are "absolutely untrue." And sources tell TMZ all indications are that Gibson has not had a drink since his drunk driving arrest last July.

Days after the arrest, during which Gibson went on an anti-Semitic tirade, Nierob said Gibson was reaching out to the Jewish community for "one-on-one discussions" to find "the appropriate path for healing." Today Nierob told TMZ Gibson has been "a man of his word." Nierob says Gibson has come face to face with some Jewish leaders, though he would not disclose their identities.

A source who has frequent contact with Gibson told TMZ that the actor "feels like he's more in control of his life."

32. Yes he's a big star, but he is also human, we all make mistakes, he also said it to one police officer, it was the media that put it out there to the rest of the world, had it been just a nobody, nodbody would have know what was said......

33. During 2004, 16,694 people in the U.S. died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, representing 39% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA 2005).

In 2004, about 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (Department of Justice, 2004). That’s less than one percent of the 159 million self-reported episodes of alcohol–impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (Quinlan et al. 2005).

Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. These other drugs are generally used in combination with alcohol (Jones et al. 2003).

More than two-thirds of child passengers ages 14 and younger who died in alcohol-related crashes during 1997–2002 were riding with the drinking driver; only 32% of them were properly restrained at the time of the crash (Shults 2004).

Each year, alcohol-related crashes in the United States cost about $51 billion (Blincoe 2002).

34. Mel is the best. What he said about the Jews is correct and the Hebe's know it. The f***ing Jews cause all the wars and they say "AUCK, why does everyone hate us?". Israel is not there country and never will be. They stole it from the Palestinians and if the US didn't back them with money and weapons they wouldn't of lasted this long. The Jews have no f***ing balls. Did you ever hear of a Jew suicide bomber? no. They worship money and would sell out there own people on a dime for it. They're there for a awhile but not for much longer. Mel's new movie will make millions like passion and that pisses off the Jews more than anything else!

35. Mel is a filthy piece of trash! And sorry he is! He's only sorry he got caught! Asswipe hater!

36. Billy Ray go run and play! It's way past your bedtime sweetheart! I am so sorry you are so brainwashed and stupid.

37. I have to agree with Billy Ray. The Jews don't want peace, they treat the Arabs like third class citizens. They're a bunch a land grabbing, money hungry, bastards. In order to peace in the middle east, Israel has got to go, period!

38. Where was the "who cares" option in the poll?

39. Billy Ray and Ernie, you two are such obvious ignorant trailer trash, you're not worth responding to. You're not even worth taking up space on this planet. I suppose the whores who gave birth to you, and the dirt bags who sired you, are both proud as piss of what they've brought forth, You're just the type of sub-humans that Mel Bugson appeals to. The Jews have survived two centuries the likes of garbage like you two, and will go on surviving long after the bedraggled sluts who share your filthy beds, and whatever disgusting little brats you've impoed upon society, have joined you in the special corner of Hell reserved for mental and moral degenerates of your stripe.

40. AM SO HAPPY ALL OF YOU PERFECT DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE ! HOW DID THIS TURN INTO A POLITICAL ISSUE ANYWAY ? ( PER # 5 )

ALL OF US HAVE SOME ' DIRTY LAUNDRY' IN THE CLOSET & OFTEN FALL OFF WHATEVER WAGON WE MAY BE ON; ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE SO PUBLICLY HARD.

THIS IS MEL & HIS FAMILY'S ISSUE.

ALL OF THIS 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS' BUSINESS HAS DONE NOTHING EXCEPT STIR UP MISERY, VIOLENCE, HARD FEELINGS, WHICH HAS HAD A GREAT DEAL TO DO WITH THIS GREAT COUNTRYS SLIDE DOWNWARD.

EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS, ALLOW OTHERS TO DO THE SAME; WE ARE ADULTS AREN'T WE ? CALL ME WHAT YOU LIKE, I COULD CARE LESS. BUT LETS FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE, IT CAN BE DONE !

42. The Maven has a good idea: Let's all of us who live in the Los Angeles area get stinking drunk on rotgut booze, then march en masse to Mel's house in Malibu and puke all over his lawn. Then when he comes out, we all give him the Nazi salute. He'll LOVE it!

43. My anti-Semitic buddy Mel is still drinking like a fish. It won't be long before he kills someone while DUI. Let's hope it's himself.

44. Mel has lost his good looks due to not aging well and bad karma!
His anti-Sematism makes him even uglier!

45. The Maven agrees with #45. The drunken, lying, hateful bastard should be euthanized, along with that pathetic Lisa who seems to have a "thing" for this turd that is absolutely pathological.

I suspect "she" may in fact be a faggot, but cannot admit it as it is known that Gibson is a homophobe on top of being an anti-Semite.

Then again, "Lisa" may be one of those self-loathing faggots. I have no problems with gays. but faggots are beyond the pale. (There's more than a semantic difference between the two, you know.) They form Mel's biggest following.

Trust The Maven.

He knows.

And "Lisa," you simply MUST stop spanking the monkey while fantasizing aout this bastard. Otherwise, it'll fall off one of these days. Restraint, dear, restraint.. .
