Lest you thought that you’d heard everything bad you could have heard about Mel Gibson and his views of Jews — from his rant to the Malibu cop that “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” and asking a reporter who asked him about that, “I take it you have a dog in that fight” — comes this detail from the actress Winona Ryder (née Winona Horowitz):

“Fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk,” Ryder tells the January issue of GQ. “I was with my friend, who’s gay. [Gibson] made a really horrible gay joke. And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about ‘oven dodgers,’ but I didn’t get it. I’d never heard that before.”

Oven dodgers. Maybe Ms. Ryder had never heard that before because the formulation might have simply arrived in her ear fully formed from the inside of Gibson’s own vicious, repugnant, evil brain.
