I thought the very same thing of that apology, and more.

The first rule of damage control for politicians and celebrities (rather like the first step in a 12 step rehab program) is to apologize. One need not admit to wrongdoing (which is legally inadvisable in instances like this, especially). One need just apologize for behaving badly.

Mad Max of Malibu has very good handlers. But then, an alcoholic, egomaniacal, anti-Semitic, two bit Hollywood bad boy would need good handlers and lawyers to survive his own excesses, no?

And of course, we haven't even thrown in buying land and building your very own cult church yet, have we?

Only in Hollywood or Washington DC could a perverted, sick man of this sort hold such power and influence.
