Mel And George

Christianist Mel Gibson hasn't always seen eye to eye with George W. Bush, as my post earlier today suggested. Wiki points out:

Despite the fact that he has been perceived as being a conservative Republican (even though he has never identified himself as such), Gibson joined many of his colleagues in the entertainment industry in opposition to the Iraq War and even praised the liberal director Michael Moore and his documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11, leading some to question labeling him as a conservative, although it's possible he leans more towards traditionally anti-interventionist paleoconservatism.

Gibson first became concerned about Bush once it was revealed that there were no WMDs in Iraq. I have a feeling Gibson would be more in line with Buchananite America Firstism than Bush's Wilsonian incompetence.
