My apologies, Leftist Hollywood.
When you stepped over causes like childhood diseases, health-care reform and the homeless to spend political capital defending a fugitive child-rapist, I was certain you really were stupid enough to further tarnish an already devastated reputation under the misguided impression that tsk-tsking child sodomy made you look sophisticated, as opposed to wicked and grotesque. Thankfully, I’ve seen the light and am man enough to admit that my right-wing kneejerk got the better of me. How embarrassing to have missed your Harvey Weinstein and Minions Master Plan:
Roman Polanski realises that some of the support he got in his battle against US child sex charges was “counter-productive”, his lawyer said Sunday, adding he was worried about the detained director’s health.
“The filmmaker is very touched by the support he has received,” Herve Temime told AFP after visiting his client on Friday in his cell in Switzerland, where he is being held on a US warrant.
“He also knows that some of it is counter-productive,” he added, without elaborating.
For too long too many of us have seen Hollywood Celebucrats only as narcissistic, out-of-touch, mean-spirited, pleasure seekers interested in nothing but themselves. But this… This! To publicly throw yourselves on the sword of looking like enablers of child-sodomizing artistes … to publicly shame yourselves … all with the selfless and sacrificial goal in mind of having it backlash on Polanksi’s bid for freedom…
Well, I’m sure that I am not the only one awed by both the genius of this plan to ensure Polanski pays for his crime, and moved inexpressibly by your willingness to look so hideously elitist in carrying this plan out.
We all owe you a great debt.
Unless, of course, you really were siding with a child rapist and too self-involved to figure out you were hurting your own cause… Then what I meant to say was: Ha, ha.
