It’s “perverted” to criticize Mel?

I don’t get it.

Jewish comedian Jackie Mason says of those of us who are speaking out against Gibson’s anti-Semitism:

all these people are very sick; they’re getting a vicious, sick, perverted, sadistic thrill out of this whole thing.

Huh? Baby, I enjoy as many sick, perverted thrills as the next girl, but I assure you, Gibson’s tirades against the Jews don’t qualify.

Mason adds, about Gibson

the guy’s been a great crusader against anti-Semitism.

In what universe? Based on what evidence? Based on what public statements or actions or behaviors?

Mason also criticizes struggling actors who are “jealous” of Gibson. That’s nothing, kids, compared with has-been comics who are riding on his coattails.

    Dear Jackie,

    Your political/social commentary is much like your comedy shtick; lame, tired, and useless. It isn’t fit for nursing homes. Please retire to Miami Beach with all the other old yentas and shut the **** up. In your misplaced defense of Gibson, you forget some very important facts. First, he was pretty drunk and unless he was just thrown out of a bar mitzvah (for being farshnickered), why would his drunkenness induce him to start cursing Jews? People don’t just have a few beers and start cursing Jews (or anyone else) out of the blue. There is some very deep psychological problem there. Secondly, in spite of all the anti-Mel Gibson sentiment that Mel himself believes the Jews to foster, he seems to be doing quite well in spite of them. So why is he so afraid of Jews?

    Jackie, bubbeleh, if you wish to help your conservative wacko friend from down under, find him a good therapist and a bowl of chicken soup.

    And lastly, if you aren’t part of the anti-Gibson conspiracy, how can you call yourself Jewish?

    My sentiment exactly! You go, Shlomo!
