Are Mel Gibson and WGN Playing The Feud?

Mad Max says no but the video below seems to indicate otherwise. WGN's Dean Richards was interviewing Gibson about a new movie and asked some personal - yet perfectly legitimate - questions relating to Gibson's infamous arrest and rant. Gibson didn't seem altogether happy with the question and, as the feed ended, uttered the word, "asshole." Gibson now insists he was talking to his publicist who was making faces at him off-camera. Either way, it'll probably be the last time we hear "asshole" uttered on WGN, at least until the next Ozzie Guillen press conference.
