02/18/2004: "Mel Gibson's PrimeTime interview"

If you missed it (I made sure I recorded it on my Tivo) you can watch it on the web at:

It is definitely worth watching. I watched it this morning and was impressed for the most part. I think some of the criticism of Diane Sawyer that I've seen on other blogs is exaggerated. I think she was doing her best to be impartial.

One VERY SMALL note that dissappointed me about the interview. He slipped and mentioned an account of St. Paul from "The Gospels", which there are none. All of the mentions of St. Paul are either in the Epistles or Acts of the Apostles. I'm sure he just misspoke, but it always makes me cringe when a spokesman for the faith makes a mistake that the critics can try to rip apart.
