I find it interesting that his comments are getting all the attention. Take the things he did that night and put them in order of "bad" behavior. The list should look something like this.
1. Drove drunk, endangering the lives of other people
2. Resisted arrest, making the job of the officers harder and raising tension
3. Make some stupid drunken remarks including anti-semitic ones.
Instead the popular opinion seems to order his actions this way:
1. Talked bad about Jews
2. Drove drunk, endangering the lives of other people
3. Blamed Jews for his woes
4. Resisted arrest, making the job of the officers harder and raising tension
5. Make some stupid drunken remarks including anti-semitic ones.
6. Did we mention his dad didn't think the holocaust happened?
7. Mel badmouthed the Jews
