Let me open by saying, what the HELL is wrong with you people?!?! How in the WORLD can you possibly be standing up in defense of Roman Polanski? I don’t care how great a director he is or how many awards he has won, the man is a monster who deserves to be put in jail for his crimes. You are offended that he was arrested on his way to a film festival? Well I am offended that you are standing in defense of a man who drugged and raped a thirteen year old girl. As if that wasn’t bad enough (and frankly, I can think of no crime more despicable, more heinous, more vile or repugnant, than the rape of a child), the coward fled the country rather than face the consequences of his actions.

If he hadn’t directed “The Pianist” but instead made his living moving pianos, would you be jumping to the defense of someone guilty of such a crime? I doubt it.

Too often those on the right attack Hollywood and use them as a scapegoat for the many ills of American society, but in this case they are dead on about how out of touch and morally depraved you are being.

Let me spell it out for you again, one more time.

He druged and raped a thirteen year old girl.

He shouldn’t be getting an award, he should be rotting in jail, and frankly those of you defending him probably deserve to do the same.

Worst. Analogy. Ever.

Vail resident Sally Rebehn, master of the apt analogy, describes her experience discovering a bear in her bedroom: “I turned around and it was so odd, your brain takes a while to register. No way I thought there would be bear in the bedroom. It’s kind of like when you think you’re about to drink a glass of water and it’s a glass of milk.”

What?!?!

P.S. Hammerito helpfully converts Ms. Rebehn’s statement to SAT-analogy format:

Water:Milk::No Bear:Bear

Heh. Meanwhile, here’s a longer story with the same quote, but more details.

P.P.S. Someone needs to book this woman on Colbert, stat!
