The Pendragon's Hall

Mel Gibson has finally won over the mainstream media. At a review of his new movie Apocaplypto, apparently about the fall of Mayan civilization, he told the gathered members of the press that American civilization is obviously on its way down and the war in Iraq was a way of committing cultural suicide. What a suck-up. Apparently trying to atone for his anti-Semitic outburst a few weeks ago (something the media only condemns if the person uttering them has no power to carry out any of the threats), Gibson has learned that to criticize the Iraq War is the short track to the hearts of the liberal media. It did confirm, anyway, something the Pendragon has long suspected: Mel Gibson, despite the screams of fury from the Left because of his movie portraying the redemptive death of Jesus, is no conservative. Usually the adage, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," can work, but not in current American politics.
