MAXINE :: "Meating" Mel Gibson (the promotion of Rob Reiner)- UPDATED
Rob Reiner ("Meathead") just can't help himself. When a man is down, you just don't go over and kick him ... or do you?
Yesterday, Rob "First 5" Reiner, who is down because of the blistering defeat his universal pre-school initiative, Proposition 82, received back in June, took off after Mel Gibson who is suffering a personal defeat of his own.
But "Meathead" wasn't content with just this statement, he went on to be interviewed by Associated Press where he decided to take on Mel Gibson at more of a professional level.
But we all know that, now film-director, Rob has troubles of his own. There is still that little matter of the gross misuse of public monies from the commission he use to head up before Governor Arnold woke up and removed him when things were getting a little hot in Sacramento during the lead up to the June elections.
I would like to think that when, and if, Rob Reiner is taken down for his handling of public monies for political purposes , that we won't be hearing from a sober Mel Gibson "Grinding Meathead" as ol' Director Rob is grinding Mel now.
Maybe this is more about publicity than disgust ... after all, doesn't Director Rob have a movie coming out soon? Do you think it will make as much as "The Passion of the Christ"?
OUCH!
UPDATE:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
A connection has been found as to WHY Meathead would pop-off about ... anything ... at this particular timing (Mel Gibson just happens to be the biggest and most convenient target). Promotion and attention is the key - always "follow the money" when it concerns Rob Reiner.
It doesn't hurt the conspiracy that the film company is buying an operation that not only has Rob Reiner connected to its most valuable asset, but also has an Australian operation.
