I am glad to see that Gibson wasted no time in taking full repsonsibilty for his behavior. He has fully apologized and did not make any excuses.

Here is an excerpt of his apology: " 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." With regard to his anti-Jewish comments, Gibson said, "I said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable." He also apologized for "my belligerent behavior" and the way he treated the police officers.

I respect Mel for apologizing and taking full responsibility for his bevavior.

I give him props for apologizing, too. When will celebrities and politicians learn the fastest way to make something go away is to say "I'm sorry?" So good for him for stepping up and doing it.

(But am I still allowed to think he's a nutcase?)

I give him credit for that too. That is refreshing. He is still a wacko though. I have to admit I will go see Apocolypto though.
