If the conservatives want him, they can have him.:
"When you’re a conservative – or even suspected of being one – the rules change. Robert Downey Jr. was known as “poor Robert Downey Jr.” after his many battles with drugs. There are literally a ton of other examples.

Gibson screwed up big time, and he’ll be the first to admit that, but if he comes forward and perhaps admits a problem, he’ll not be called “courageous,” but rather “hypocritical.” This is the tough thing about being right of center."

Boo hoo! "We're so victimized because no one will let us be the victim!" Puh-leez. Gibson isn't getting any worse treatment because he's conservative, he's getting beat up for saying things he shouldna oughta.

He'll go into rehab, and come out stronger for it, and people will love him again and he'll write a book about his struggles and ultimate victory and I'll put my head in a trash can and throw up.
