Nothing will repair the days he has spent in prison. Nothing will erase the immense, unbelievable injustice he has been subjected to. Nothing will take away the hysteria of those ones who have never stopped pouring contempt upon him, hounding him through hatred and asking for his punishment as if we were living the darkest and most ferocious hours of the McCarthysm era all over again.Roman Polanski drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year old girl. John Cole has the right of it. This willingness of the self-styled intellectuals and auteurs to overlook just what Polanski did because he is one of them is simply disgusting. I have no doubt that many of the same people who are tripping over themselves to embrace Polanski would recoil in horror if they had to shake the hand of a pedophile such as the late John J. Geoghan.
Hypocrites, the lot of them.
The pop singer Renaud once wrote that a character "stank so bad, it was like he'd stepped in Bernard-Henri Levy's head."
