Mel Gibson - "A Work in Progress Right Now"                                                                                                                               

Questions and Answers are cited below as "Q" and "A"

1. Q: To what does the title refer?

A: To the so-called entertainer "Mel Gibson."

2. Q: Why him?

A: Because the answer gives itself away in the annexed article from the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times, October 13, 2006 incorporated with this answer.

3. Q: How does this apply now?

A: When it was convenient for him to deny any anti-Semitism in the presentation of the "The Passion of the Christ," he let the "Passion of the Christ" speak for him, but denied that he was an anti-Semite.

On the other hand, when he now is discovered bothered with alcohol on the road and caught by deputies accordingly, he referred to the "Passion of the Christ."

"In the religion of celebrity, the TV confessional is one station of the cross. Gibson's alleged anti-Semitism first gained mainstream traction when he was doing something completely sober, making "The Passion of the Christ." And making big money out of the claimed work and service of "The Passion."

4. Q: How about his present circumstance?

A: "This time, Gibson knew what he had to do -deny that he's an anti-Semite, again, but this time with the tune arranged differently."

"It's about the horrors of alcoholism, him and his anger-management issues -unleashed not just on Jewish sheriff's deputies but inanimate things with no religious or ethnic affiliation, like toasters."

5. Q: So why the "work in progress right now?"

A: "I'm kind of a work in progress, right now," Gibson said. "You got me a little green." I mean, I just got out of the straitjacket with the messy hair."

"Drunk enough to spew slurs (ëAre you a Jew?' he asked the arresting officer, Deputy James Mee, and later blathered about how ëJews are responsible for all the wars in the world'), sober enough to remember Nolte."

6. Q: Why "Work in Progress"?

A: "Mel faces the music. But on Mel Gibson's road to recovery with his public, he seems unsure of the tune."

Total incident and background serve as indispensable enlightenment about the motivations of anti-Semites.
