My frakking HERO today.

Okay, not only was he played by My Celebrity Boyfriend in "The Soloist," but his column weighing in on the Roman Polanski thing hits the nail on the head.

And yet we have such "luminaries" as Martin Scorcese and Woody Allen signing a petition begging Switzerland not to extradite a man who, at the age of 44, raped a 13-year-old girl?

What. The. Fuck.

Yes, you read that right. I just dropped a rather rare f-bomb on my LJ, and I'm not quoting Ben.

I don't give a crap how long ago this crime happened. Roman Polanski gave a barely-pubescent child quaaludes and champagne, raped her, and then skipped the country before he was sentenced. He's living like a king overseas while she gets to deal with that for the rest of her life.

Would any of these clowns be defending my husband if he did the same thing to our babysitter? HELL FUCKING NO. Nor should they. Read the column, read her testimony, and then come in here and defend this guy. I dare you.

What the HELL is the matter with these people?

Polanski was indicted for furnishing a controlled substance to a minor, committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under 14, unlawful sexual intercourse, rape by use of drugs, perversion (oral copulation) and sodomy.

He RAPED a thirteen-year-old girl. THIRTEEN! I knew Hollywood was out of touch with the common man, but I didn't realize they were totally devoid of pure human decency.

But Whoopi Goldberg says it wasn't "rape rape," so that's okay.

This makes me so angry.

Hey, it’s not like Polanski is a — *brrr* — Republican.

Thanks for the Harding commentary. I'm surprised Salon.com printed it.
