Speaking of anti-semites, Mel Gibson has shown that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. Like his father, he will now be remembered for saying crazy things about the Jews. When The Passion of the Christ was in release he was careful to deny charges of anti-semitism, but it’s strange how truthful we become when we’re blasted, downright Kantian, sometimes, in the refusal to say anything other than what we really believe to be the case. Better to know this about him than not, I suppose. Those who heard his apology say that it was half-hearted and insincere; I can’t comment on any of that, since I didn’t hear it, but one can imagine how good an indicator it is of his innermost feelings.
