Another Mel Gibson rant caught on tape. This one racist

    I guess I'm thinking the N-bomb wasn't the point of his comments. His overall point was that his wife was dressing like a cooz queen.
    What Gibson said was god-awful, don't get me wrong. It is and probably should be a career-ender. But it wasn't like he was going on and on about black people. In terms of racist blasts I've heard much, much more focused attacks that were much worse.

    In the big picture, the way he treated his wife — admitting he hit her and threatening to kill her — is just as bad. In fact, he probably should go to jail for it.

    Not sure how he treated his wife, but it's his girlfriend he's threatening to murder.

    I heard a mash-up of Christian Bale and Mel Gibson's tirades on YouTube - it was golden.

    The thinh I love most about the tape is how calm Oxy seems in the face of such a vile tirade. It's like she's saying to herself, "Keep on digging yourself that hole, Adolf." If only she had ended the call with Joss Ackland's famous line from LW2: "Who's the asshole now, Riggs?"

    They played the full thing on Stern today. Unbelievable.

    I don't think it's any stretch to say this is a career-ender, for all intents and purposes.
