Would this save him? Maybe. He has a long row to hoe to come back. It will take years.
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe not.
I sort of pity him. A not very bright guy who, like a lot of equally not-so-bright Hollywood types, gets to have his opinions given undue consideration thanks to the mass media's appetite for the sensational. As a result, he may think, like Barbra, that what he has to say is original, worthwhile, important. Newsflash, Mel: it isn't.
On the other hand, though I was aware of Mel's religious quirk, I had no idea until recently that he seems to harbor such a nasty antisemitic streak. On the other, other hand, vbg, people can say very stupid things they don't mean when they are drunk.
The real problem he might have is in Hollywood, where many of the powers that be are Jews. Hard to predict if they will hold the incident against him. They may not if he makes the right apologetic noises.
I betcha a dollar he goes into some sort of "treatment" in a few days. |
