In Vino Veritas
Buried in James Lileks' review of the latest animated flick about bugs that have something to teach us about kindness (ACK!), is this nugget.
On the other hand, “Happy Feet” is directed by George Miller, who also did “Mad Max.” So there’s that. There’s also the possibility that the penguin with the big long black scary beard will get hepped up on fermented herring blood and start ranting about the Jews.
I don't care who you are or where you're from, that's funny.
Except if you're Mel. Then it's just those "F#$&^%#$ Jews" piling on.
Patterico has a good analysis of the preferential treatment given by the L.A. Sheriffs to the moviestar, with links to the unredacted police reports.
UPDATE!
I meant to include this quote from David Frum, which is even better than Lileks' line.
If a drunken Mel Gibson did indeed call out, "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," then there can be only one possible place for a man who believes such things: as the next Secretary General of the United Nations.
Man, that's cold!
