"There" is where a Chicago reporter went, as a frustrated Mel Gibson was pitching his new movie to the reporter today, only to be peppered with questions about his infamous sauced-up, Jew-baiting post-arrest rant that also involved one of my favorite gender specific slurs to date: Sugar Tits.
But that was years ago, according to Mel. Let's move on.
Gibson has a new baby, and they need shoes, so Daddy went and made "Edge of Darkness," and he is doing the obligatory press junket thing to drum up box office business.
When Mel was interviewed on WGN in Chicago, reporter Dean Richards went for the jugular.
Gibson's Irish was up, and his language got salty:
But call this a repeat performance, as Mel had a similar exchange with local KTLA Los Angeles entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, a genuinely nice man.
Rubin asked Gibson if his absence from the big screen for almost eight years had anything to do with that incident following a drunk driving arrest courtesy of the Lost Hills Sheriffs' of Malibu/Calabasas.
Dancing around the truth, Gibson turned on Rubin (who is Jewish) and said "Do you have a dog in this fight?"
