'Nothing wrong with him that a Louisville Slugger couldn't fix
...
Wait. Is it the Year of the Pig? It feels that way, given Mel Gibson’s raging return to the public eye these last few months. His has been a comeback that will finally threaten to decertify the axiom that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

With his fifth obscene telephone rant to his comely partner, Oksana Grigorieva, the talk of the town, he appears to be starring in one of those films whose style he has always gravitated to – end-of-the-world tales of ragged heroism, fatal flaw firmly in place.
...
Gibson snarled that Grigorieva needed a bat to her head, as she held her baby, and, horribly, listened. I like real pigs. As for the Gibson kind, there’s nothing that a Louisville Slugger couldn’t improve in his gigantic, cruelty-riven head.'

From a previous article at The Globe and Mail:

'If a man is unfaithful…"I desperately hope that one of these days some humiliated spouse will whack the guy with a frying pan. I'd give good money to see that." -- Margaret Wente

I wouldn't want to spend a minute with the guy. Clearly he has issues controlling his temper and in more than a few ways moderating his speech, not the least of which betray some deep-seated prejudices. Based on some of the things he has said, I have plenty of negative judgments about him.

Does this mean one should publicly say he deserves to be beaten with a baseball bat? No. Does it make it right that because he is a man perceived to be misogynistic that to speak of him that way is right? No. Plenty of female columnists write as if they are perfect misandrists and you will hardly hear (or read) me or anyone else suggest they deserve a punishment likely to bring death upon them.

If Mel were Melanie, she *may* be criticized for her behavior, but I doubt anyone of either sex would be suggesting, much less overtly, that a baseball bat to the head is the right remedy.
