The Passion of the Drunk

If Mel Gibson's drunken racist rant ends up costing him his Hollywood career, you have to figure he will land on his feet. Public Jew-hating could open up a whole new new set of possibilities for him:

- He's got to be among the favorites for the next UN Secretary General

- He's well on his way to the Nobel Peace Prize

- He's in if he wants to write for the New York Times editorial page

- He could have a tenured position in any Ivy League Middle Eastern Studies faculty

- Have you seen MSNBC's prime time ratings lately?

You have to think Gibson will easily find a way to turn these lemons into Mike's Hard Lemonade.
