About 72 hours ago I was somewhere over the North Atlantic on my way home and, already bored by the process of getting from there to here, I retrieved a crumpled newspaper from under my seat. Presumably, my windfall was the detritus of the previous occupant and the inefficiency of the cleaning crew.
But, I never look a gift horse in the mouth and who knows where Blog posts start?
The headline in the newspaper read, “French Foreign Office says U.S actions are sinister”.
The subject, if you haven’t guessed, was the arrest and possible extradition of Roman Polanski in order to face a long-awaited sentencing in a California court room.
Not surprisingly, the French sprang to his aid perhaps because such abusive acts are normal in France. In addition, the European wing of the Hollywood Left added their voice too. And, not too long after that, as the Earth rotated upon its axis, the real Hollywood Left in Malibu and elsewhere on the Pacific Coast Highway strapped on their moral armor and headed for the talk-shows to defend their adopted victim. One of these was Woody Allen who is surely the poster child for how an adult should not interact with a minor.
But the accolade for the most preposterous manifestation of support must clearly be awarded to Whoopi Goldberg. Now that woman is dumb and she’s also ugly and so rape just might be a welcome event for her. Not really, not ever, in my book but read on.
According to Whoopi there’s rape and then there’s rape rape. Rape rape, according to her, is a guy hiding in the bushes late one summer night outside an apartment block. He waits for a single female, threatens her and drags her into even darker shadows and, the rest you can guess ………..
On the other hand, plain rape, a la Polanski, is not nearly as bad. This animal fed a 13 year old girl with drugs and alcohol and forced her to submit to anal intercourse.
And, according to the artistic intelligentsia on both sides of the pond, I’m supposed to feel compassion because of the elapsed time and his “art”.
For a start, the concept of statutory limitations does not apply because Polanski had already pleaded guilty in a duly-constituted court in the State of California and had merely fled that jurisdiction in order to avoid sentencing.
So now, unless Switzerland and the United States lose their “collective bottle” Polanski will get his.
Picture a cringing new inmate in a California prison as the door of his 2 person cell opens and in walks Bubba. His tattoos ripple over his muscles as he smiles a mostly toothless grin and growls,
“You’re gonna be my new bitch”!
So will that night see rape, rape rape, or rape rape rape?
Enquiring minds, the French Foreign Office, and Whoopi want to know!
