The excuse given by Mel Gibson’s rep as to why Mel has take it upon himself to personally call and apologize to various Jewish entertainment industry big-shots for his anti-Semitic comments is outlined as follows, as reported by TMZ:

It is unclear why Gibson began making the calls, however his rep has told TMZ that his client was in a recovery program, which includes a 12-step program to sobriety. Step #9 is making amends.

If he is on Step #9, I’m very impressed. That would make him a some kind of recovery genius.
