Gibson inspired by 'fear-mongering' Bush Friday May 12, 11:45 AM By WENN

Film star and director Mel Gibson has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush, comparing his leadership to the barbaric rulers of the Mayan civilisation in his new film Apocalypto.

The epic, due for release later this year, captures the decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing.

Gibson reveals he used present day American politics as an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation's insecurities to maintain power.

He tells British film magazine Hotdog, "The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys".

You know at one time I liked Mel Gibson. Shows you what the hell I know, doesn't it! Making movies in Aramaic and now Mayan. I mean really you have to have a few loose screws to do that.

While Bush has proven to be less than a stellar POTUS he surely doesn't fear monger. (He doesn't even know what fear mongering is)

I sure wish that someone would get the word out to Hollyweird to just STFU and make some movies about the great things in this nation and not goofy crap like Gibson is now making.
