The Republicans’ Passion Play
GOP knows Mel’s movie is la bomba for Latinos
Yes, it’s true that Bill O’Reilly has injected a note of caution by pointing out that, even though entire families are going to see the movie, Passion, because of its R rating, may not be suitable for young children. On the other hand, O’Reilly is so sycophantic in his coverage of Gibson and so forgiving of the movie that he’s virtually replaced Alan Nierob, of Rogers & Cowan, as Mel’s personal publicist. (At one point in an interview, Gibson and O’Reilly joke about going out for ice cream later. Gag us with the spoon.) Little wonder why: Gibson has optioned O’Reilly’s rather forgettable novel, Those Who Trespass. Mighty Christian of him.
