The L.A. Times reports today that “Roman Polanski is depressed and in an “unsettled state of mind” as he begins his third week in a Zurich jail, his attorney told two Swiss newspapers.”
Gee that’s terrible. I wonder if Samantha Geimer ever had any bad days after Polanski raped and sodomized her when she was thirteen.
Of course many in the film business have circled the wagons around one of their own. The list of signatories to the petition “demanding” the release of Polanski is appalling in it’s length. To think there are this many humans on earth who believe Polanski’s resume’ trumps his despicable actions is simply nauseating. Perhaps all of those who signed the petition would like to send one of their young children over to meet the “great” director – alone – at Jack Nicholson’s house. Whoopi Goldberg will be there as acting chaperone, so no parent need worry. There will be no “rape-rape” while Whoopi is in the house.
But I do wonder if Polanski will actually be extradited… I wonder if he will serve jail time… I wonder if he will be sodomized while in jail…
Well, if he is, at least we know it won’t be “rape-rape”. And if his attacker plays his cards right, a long list of celebrities may sign a petition demanding HIS release!
UPDATE: Dennis Prager has an excellent article on this same subject.
