Gibson's Brokeback Banter: "I'm not giving that up"
Memo to John Gibson, the Fox News shockjock who found so much humor in Heath Ledger's death. Yes, you might have had some mildly homophobic fun with the Brokeback Mountain star's famous line in the gay cowboy movie, "I wish I knew how to quit you." Unwise to continue with the line after Ledger died, or "quit" life, as you joked. And even more idiotic to bluster so unrepentantly, in this more recent clip, when the gays are coming after you with their tire-irons. "I'm not giving that up," Gibson says of his Brokeback banter. Let him sacrifice something else instead, like his job.
