Mel Gibson: "Sick to his empty core with Jew-hatred"

I'm happy we haven't posted anything about Mel Gibson's latest sin-and-expiation psychodrama. Hitchens writes the last word on the subject; and since Hitchens at his most scabrous is Hitchens at his most adorable this one should guarantee him a few busses when we eventually meet:

There's a lot to dislike about Gibson. He is given to furious tirades against homosexuals of the sort that make one wonder if he has some kind of subliminal or "unaddressed" problem. His vulgar and nasty movies, which also feature this prejudice, are additionally replete with the cheapest caricatures of the English. Braveheart and The Patriot are two of the most laughable historical films ever made. (Englishmen don't form picket lines outside movie theaters when "stereotyped," but still.) He has told interviewers that his wife, the mother of his children, is going to hell because she subscribes to the wrong Christian sect (a view that he justifies as "a pronouncement from the chair"). And it has been obvious for some time to the most meager intelligence that he is sick to his empty core with Jew-hatred.
