Sweet Ride: After Mel Giblson was released on bail Friday morning, a uniformed Sheriff’s deputy drove him 10 miles from the Malibu-Lost Hills station to retrieve his Lexus LS sedan at the tow yard.

Department spokesweasel Steve Whitmore said, “We do this for someone from time to time at all of our stations.” Richard Winton, Andrew Blankstein and Megan Garvey also report that “officials decided to drive Gibson to avoid a confrontation with gathering media.”

Hmm. No preferential treatment, huh?

Mad Maxims: In other Mel news, Patrick Goldstein does an excellent job expanding upon what we’ve been saying here at FBLA: That Gibson will feel very little long-term repercussions from his remarks.
