eau de porneau.

This just in: Mel Gibson’s off his fucking rocker. Even more of a crazy drunk than my teen idol Pat O’Brian.

In case you were camping this weekend (or otherwise hiding underneath a rock) the star of Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, and Mad Max 2 was pulled over by police this weekend on a DUI.

When he got out of the car, he started yelling out mean things about the Jews, and even called into question the race or religious persuasion of one of the police officers.

In an effort to regain the respect of Hollywood, Mel put together an apology the other day, stating:

“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. [I am taking the] necessary steps to ensure my return to health.”

and

“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable.”

But the Jewish Community is not impressed. They think:

“His tirade finally reveals his true self and shows that his protestations during the debate over this film `The Passion of The Christ’ that he is such a tolerant, loving person, were a sham. It may well be that the bigotry has been passed from the father to the son. It is unfortunate that it took an excess of booze and an encounter with a traffic cop to reveal what was really in his heart and mind.”

Yes, tirade indeed.. but what’s this about his father’s bigotry? Turns out Mel’s dad’s quite the anti-semite. In fact, he’s got quite the rap sheet. Wikipedia says:

Gibson adheres to the theory that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were not carried out by Islamist terrorists aboard the planes, but rather by an unknown party using a “remote control,” a view he has expressed on The Alex Jones Show.

Many of Hutton Gibson’s beliefs and actions, including his promulgation of Holocaust revisionist theories, his association with known Holocaust deniers and his contention that malevolent Jewish conspiracies exist within the Catholic Church and around the world, are consistent with traditional anti-Semitism. Echoing the claims of numerous other Holocaust deniers, he questions aspects of the Jewish Holocaust, especially the commonly accepted statistic that between five to seven million Jews were killed, arguing that it would have been impossible for the Nazis to have disposed of so many bodies.

How do you know this, Hutton? Have you disposed of five to seven million Jewish bodies before? Or would you just like to?

In any event, Mel Gibson’s gonna have to do some pretty intensive PR scrubbing before the release of his new film Apocalypto, slated for release this December. I didn’t know he’d battled alcoholism in the past. Like Pat O’Brian though.. it took a publicist’s nightmare to make him realize he had a problem.

UPDATE:

ONE HOUR BEFORE THE PULLOVER.
