Yup, Mel owns Malibu. Sorry all you SoCal residents. Now that Mel owns it, he’s going to put it on Apocalypto watch until the End Times. It’s true. He said it (well at least the owning Malibu part), and it appeared in the New York Daily News, so it has to be true.
The actor … told the cop he “owns Malibu” and would spend all his money “to get even with me,” Mee said in his report. (New York Daily News 7/29/06)
And that’s not all. It seems Mayor Gibson was driving drunk in Malibu, exceeding the speed limit by about 30 mph when he got busted by the L.A. County Sherriff’s Department. It also seems that the Passion director isn’t a big fan of us Jews either. (The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…his father is a well known Holocaust-denier.)
See the extended…
He goes on to blame the Jews for all the wars and throws in a nice touch of misogyny for good measure:
According to the incident report obtained by TMZ.com, the Road Warrior embarked on a belligerent, anti-Semitic outburst when he realized he had been busted.
“F—–g Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,” Mee’s report quotes him as saying. “Are you a Jew?” Gibson asked the deputy, according to the report.

TMZ quoted a law enforcement source as saying Gibson noticed a female sergeant on the scene and yelled at her, “What do you think you’re looking at, sugar t–s?”
He better be careful, the Christian Right might have lost its favorite movie star. You just don’t go dissing on the Jews who start wars. Are you trying to get in the way of the Rapture Mr. Mayor Gibson? Sheesh.
Andrew Sullivan also writes about TMZ.com’s revelations of deleted portions of Mel Gibson’s police report. (h/t Democratic Daily). Sully thinks he threw away his career:
Either this is an extremely elaborate hoax or it’s the end of Gibson’s career. It contains every anti-Semitic trope imaginable – from the darling of the Christianist right.
Well, I’m not sure if Gibson can be reformed, but maybe he should start with some drunken rages about how the End Times are near to get back in their good graces.
