He apologized, but his insistence that his ranting did not represent his feelings at all is wholly implausible. He deals w/many sensitive religious subjects-it would be wrong to NOT to site that his bias & example need be at least humbly acknowledged by him to obviate its sentiments. And make the apology fully meaningful. Mr. Gibson is a hugely prominent public figure who has taken strong moral stands, & has shown attitudes consistent w/both Homophobia & Anti-Semitism.

That explains it. Well, carry on, then! And much good luck! Just to report, Star Jones hasn't been seen in my neighborhood. Any sighting will be duly reported. Thought I did catch a glimpse of Elvis the other day. He looked old. Ah, thanks,David and piglet. That explains it. Well, carry on, then! And much good luck!
