"The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film..."


Then say he was driving. Hey, the ghost-gig worked before...

"...Mel Gibson - who recently claimed to have kicked the booze habit - is facing up to a year in jail after an incident that began when he was caught racing his 2006 Lexus eastbound at about 2:30 a.m. on the Pacific Coast Highway, cops said.

Officers found him going 80 mph in the 45 mph zone, said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.

Gibson was given a field sobriety test, which include a Breathalyzer that allegedly measured a blood-alcohol percentage of .12 percent. California's legal limit is .08 percent."

Might want to try this thing they call a RADAR DETECTOR, Mel. Doesn't even have to be blessed by the Pope, either.

UPDATE: The Daily Snooze Has THIS Version....

"...Gibson failed both alcohol breath and field sobriety tests, deputies said. His blood-alcohol level was .12, Deputy Anthony Moore said. The legal limit is .08 in California.

According to the incident report obtained by TMZ.com, the Road Warrior embarked on a belligerent, anti-Semitic outburst when he realized he had been busted.

"F-----g Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," Mee's report quotes him as saying.

"Are you a Jew?" Gibson asked the deputy, according to the report.

The actor also berated the deputy, threatening, "You motherf----r. I'm going to f--- you," according to Mee's report.

The actor also told the cop he "owns Malibu" and would spend all his money "to get even with me," Mee said in his report.

TMZ quoted a law enforcement source as saying Gibson noticed a female sergeant on the scene and yelled at her, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar t--s?"

Deputy Mee then wrote an eight-page report detailing of the incident, but higher-ups in the sheriff's department felt it was too "inflammatory" to release and would merely serve to incite "Jewish hatred," TMZ said."

Now, be advised that the News, and TMZ are liberal bastions of dimmitude that would sink to any level in order to villify Mel, and while I've no particular like for the man I find it hard to believe that he'd let loose such a tirade. Then again, the dude WAS drunk on his ass.
