Hollyweirdos rally around convicted child rapist Polanski

Not just Hollyweirdos, but their allies in the MSM.  LA Times frontpage subtitle of Roman Polanski’s arrest reads thusly: “The filmmaker, accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in 1977, could be extradited to the U.S.”  Emphasis mine.

I hate to nitpick at semantics here, but the cretin pled guilty to the crime before skipping bail.  When one pleads guilty to a crime and the judge accepts said plea, then one is no longer “accused”, but “convicted”…that’s kinda sorta in a really nuanced way what the “guilty” in “I plead guilty” means!

Also, as Patterico notes, LAT columnist Patrick Goldstein wonders if tax dollars should be wasted “prosecuting” Polanski.  Again, nitpicking on semantics, but no tax dollars will be spend prosecuting Polanski…because he’s already been prosecuted and convicted!  The only taxpayer money that will be spent will be for Polanski’s much deserved (and much delayed) sentencing.

For a really great read…nay, a must read…check out this Salon piece.  The takeaway is simply this: the dude raped a child!  You can polish the turd known as Roman Polanski all you like, but at the end of the day, the S.O.B. raped a 13-year-old child.  The left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) try mightily to ignore that point, but normal people aren’t letting them.

In closing, I need to quote Allahpundit, who as usual nails this one:

Needless to say, this reminds me of the left’s umbrage at conservatives daring to bring up Chappaquiddick after Teddy died. Yeah, he left a woman to drown and then made jokes about it afterwards; he was for universal health care, though, wasn’t he? Same with Polanski: Dare we deny the man who made “Chinatown” an occasional drugging and raping of a child? Sure, a kid gets traumatized for life, but on the other side of the scale: “Rosemary’s Baby.” It’d be sweet if the left could come up with some sort of mathematical formula by which we could tell whether an artist or liberal politician has exceeded his quotient of moral indulgence. I’m assuming “Chinatown” wasn’t so awesome that Polanski would be excused shooting a kid in the head at point-blank range, so evidently it’s “worth” less than that but more than a child-rape. Let’s figure out just how much of a liberal hero you have to be to get away with certain crimes.

These leftists are sick.
