Robert Downey Jr. Asks Us to Forgive Mel Gibson

While you were being entertained by a very special episode of Facts of Life on Boomerang, I was DVR-ing live coverage of The 25th American Cinematheque Award on HDNet. Never heard of the award? No kidding! Try to keep up: The ACA is somewhere between a Quizno's sub and a Grammy. That's neither here nor there. The big deal was when Robert Downey Jr, television's Sherlock Holmes, insisted that we all forgive Mel Gibson. But what, exactly, are we to forgive him for? The multiple DUIs? Nothing against Mel, but if we do this, aren't we obligated to give former Lions CEO Matt Millen a Kennedy honor
