Fox News radio host John Gibson mocked Heath Ledger's death yesterday. On his radio show, he played a clip of the quote, "I wish I knew how to quit you" from Ledger's movie Brokeback Mountain, adding, "Well, he found out how to quit you."Mocking him further, Gibson played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Ledger said, "We’re dead," followed by Gibson's own mocking version of "We’re dead" before playing the audio clip again.
Further, Gibson went back and forth with Tom Sullivan, implying Ledger committed suicide over an issue such as the stock market and the Democratic debate.
GIBSON: Maybe he had a serious position in the market.Later he said, "I think he watched the Clinton / Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, because he saw his Edwards guy was just completely irrelevant. Good looking, wears a suit well, but should just leave the stage."
TOM SULLIVAN: And possibly today, he looked at the window and said ...
GIBSON: And said, "Oh my God."
SULLIVAN: His name’s not Keith Bledger, right?
GIBSON: He was depressed about yesterday’s downturn in the world stock markets.

Today Gibson defended himself from criticism over yesterday's show, saying:
GIBSON: I mean, I feel bad about his death, but that's no, that's no point ...Later, after being told by Angry Rich that he was accused of being a "closet homosexual," Gibson added, "Well, I'm still breathing; there's a difference right there."
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN CLIP: I wish I knew how to quit you.
GIBSON: There's no point in passing up a good joke. I mean, how many months did we live off that line, Brokeback Mountain?
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN CLIP: I wish I knew how to quit you.
ANGRY RICH: Several.
GIBSON: I mean, it was going on for months and months and months.
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN CLIP: Wooee, yeah!
GIBSON: I’m not giving that up.

If I were King, which I am not, i would have the radio announcer fired.
What an ass. Is his life so meaningless and pathetic that he must find the need to mock a tragic death to entertain only himself? Find another hobby you deranged moron!
Typical drek from a no-talent hack on a network filled with no-talent hacks whose boss wants to be another William Randolph Hearst.
I'd rather be listening to William Haung "singing" medleys from my favorite Broadway musicals rather than sully my ears with this moron!
You can bet bedknobs to broomstick ol' Keith Olberman skewerd these two losers!
It never ceases to amaze me when the Fox News bashers take comments out of context and present them as gospel.
Fox News has a viewership that is larger than all of the America Hater networks have combined....with more to spare.
Grow up you utopian, socialist thinkers!!
Maybe it's because the GOP that Faux News backs made sure it was legal for one company to monopolize radio stations to the point dissent and opposition was pushed aside.
If you love Amerikka so much "Phineas", why aren't you heading to your nearest military recruiter and be next in the meatgrinder that's Iraq??
Oh that's right... you let others do the fighting for you, while you sit on your fat tuckus and lament at all the "heors" dying just to make Little Georgie, Dickie-poo and all their buddies rich!
Gibson has just shown himself to be another one of those clueless people who are unable to distinguish between an actor and one of the fictional characters the actor played. Someone needs to get Gibson a dictionary and point to the definition of "acting". Ridiculing an actor after his death by using a line from one of his movies is just plain tactless.
Obviously Gibson has no idea of what real talent is when it comes to acting.
I really can't understand how anyone could dispute Ledger's talent, let alone, mock him after his tragic death?
I feel sorry for his family members, and their terrible loss.
