A thread about what Mel Gibson actually said:
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 03:16 PM by CreekDog
is a man with an impossible task on his hands," Gibson told Pop Tarts at the Hollywood premiere of his latest drama thriller "Edge of Darkness" on Tuesday night. "He got left a mess and I wish him all the best but I don’t think he’s going to fix it in five minutes and probably not in his entire tenure."

That's a statement I can't even argue with.

But the headline writer decided to jazz it up a bit:

"Mel Gibson: Obama Doesn't Have What It Takes to 'Fix' America"

See the difference?

Don't get played. :wtf:

3. As a Jewish liberal with much love for my LGBT friends...
...no one would be less likely to stick up for Mel Gibson than myself.

But yeah, this is another spin-job by the headline writers at FAUX.

4. I'm always ready to believe the worst about Mel (the Jews started all wars) Gibson
But it sounds like he may actually be a victim of a little editorial shit stirring here.

7. Good advice. Trust but verify.
The only statement I ever agreed with Reagan on, and I bet he got it from Jane Wyman.
