I’m always surprised when people describe Hollywood as "liberal." Hollywood is about money, period. Even if it means sucking up to a pathological anti-Semite for years, in full awareness of his bigotry. Ever wondered why there are so few openly gay leading men in Hollywood? The same cowardice. Go Army:
"[T]o those who had been reading my column all these years, you learned Mel’s feelings beyond question. So much so that two years ago, Mel’s longtime agent Ed Limato politely disinvited me from his annual Oscar party fearing my presence might embarrass his guest and client, Mel Gibson."
And just for the record: these remarks can only be made by someone who is a Holocaust denier. What we just found out for sure was always hiding in plain sight.
