Excuse me, Mr. Gibson, is this seat taken?

Can you hear it? That sound. It is the sound of the Blacklist Train getting ready to make a one way trip from Hollywood to Hell, and it is about to leave the station.

You see, this is not the train's maiden voyage. Far from it. It seems that the old Blacklist Train makes this one way trip every once in a while, taking former Hollywood "A" and "B" listers from their previous plush celebrity status, and leaving them in a desolate Hell of Hollywood purgatory, inhabited only by other fallen stars, men in pointy white hats, and the soul of Marge Schott.

Apparently the Blacklist Train is back at the station, and it is boarding passengers now. A few weeks back, the once mighty (albeit strange) Mel Gibson decided he was going to drop back a few. Now, having a few drinks is not a big deal. In fact, not having any drinks seems to make more news in Hollywood than does the former. But what we did not know is that when Mel has a few he turns into Australia's largest anti-Semite. So a cop pulls over Braveheart for driving under the influence, and Mel proceeds to go on an anti-Jew tirade that would make Borat blush. Mel, please pick up your Boarding Pass at the door.

Hold on Mr Conductor, please don't leave the station just yet. It seems that Michael Richards doe not want Mel to make this journey all alone. A few nights back, our beloved Kramer, doing his routine in a comedy club, ran into a few hecklers. Now, I have been to comedy clubs before, and I have been fortunate enough to see someone try to heckle the talent. Nothing is funnier to me than watching a comedian, rip apart a heckler. I get some of my best insults from watching that type of exchange. So, what I would have expected to hear is that Richard's carved up those hecklers with the skill of Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer in "A Knights Tale." Instead, Richards decided to book the seat next to Mighty Mel and unleashed a tirade of racist comments that make the Klan go searching for membership applications.

So, lets recap, shall we? First, Riggs fires off comments that all but secure him a "boo" spot in Adam Sandler's next version of the Chanukah Song, then our old favorite Cosmo reveals that he really spells his last name, KKKramer.
Well, I hope that both of you guys enjoy your trip to Hollywood purgatory. With the in ability to keep loose lips from flapping, these two guys will be lucky to get casted in the straight to video "hits" like Gigli 2, or Friday the 13th part 941. Good luck gents, and don't forget to say hi to Walt Disney for us.

Right on slammy, booze isn't an excuse. But let's not condemn alcohol because of the actions of a few. Think of all the good alcohol has done. It eases pain, allows shy people to dance, makes dull people tolerable, encourages young women to remove their clothing and has been a faithful companian to me for decades. In fact, alcohol has been my wingman when I need one and several times I didn't.

But why should we expect more from Gibson and Richards? No one is surprised what recist bile is spewed forth when you conduct an interview in a trailerpark; does living in Hollywood somehow purify an Idiot? Remember John Rocker? You give a redneck a microphone and you get what you deserve. And rednecks have no color.

And just to clarify, Mel was born in the good old USA in 1956.
