"What Whoopi Goldberg ('Not a Rape-Rape'), Harvey Weinstein ('So-Called Crime') et al. Are Saying in Their Outrage Over the Arrest of Roman Polanski."
A youthful error? Yes, perhaps.
But he's been punished for this lapse--
For decades exiled from LA
He knows, as he wakes up each day,
He'll miss the movers and the shakers.
He'll never get to see the Lakers.
For just one old and small mischance,
He has to live in Paris, France.
He's suffered slurs and other stuff.
Has he not suffered quite enough?
How can these people get so riled?
He only raped a single child.
Why make him into some Darth Vader
For sodomizing one eighth grader?
This man is brilliant, that's for sure--
Authentically, a film auteur.
He gets awards that are his due.
He knows important people, too--
Important people just like us.
And we know how to make a fuss.
Celebrities would just be fools
To play by little people's rules.
So Roman's banner we unfurl.
He only raped one little girl.
I think he got it right. I haven't written anything about Polanski because I knew it would all just be bile and hatred for this loser. Having his 'community' stand with him in support is nauseating in the worst way. Way to go celebs - using your fame and wealth to remind us how much better you are than all the rest of us.

Did you pen that poem?? It's awesome. Very good.
I just say the majority of the hollywood elite really disgust me. They have no concept of reality. They're so used to everyone telling them how wonderful they are, they believe it.
No another famous Calvin. Calvin Trillian wrote the book 'Future Shock' and he writes thing like this often.
I don't care how great an artist the man is/was. he had sex with a fourteen year old girl. that makes him a nonce. end of argument. anyone rallying around him is saying that it's ok to fuck children.
AMEN
Yup, agreed. No other regular Joe-Schmoe would be able to spin it like a Hollywood player.
"Well, Burt is really great at servicing car engines, so we can let slide that 20 year old child rape."
Puhleese!!!
Cal: Absolutely. God, the royalty of Hollywood are so much better than us. That's very clear. Normal definitions of sick, deviant behavior; for instance the drugging and anal raping of a 13 year old, is OK for them. Why? Because the child being raped was a stupid peasant (like us), that's why. Hasn't Polanski suffered enough? He can't fly around the world in his jet whenever he wants.
Hollywood has revealed its ugly, slimy soul. Didn’t we really always know they were worthless, spoiled, corrupt, children not worth the powder to blow them all to hell? -- Mykal
Well, even though the poem's not yours, you're still great ;^)
Re: Whoopi Goldbergs comment..."not a rape-rape".
Is that like being a little bit pregnant?
Or maybe a whole lot stupid?
As usual us peons are not worthy however you will take our money, constantly and incessantly.
And also as usual Calvin is a great name, hits the nail on the head and it's not even our cephalopod hunting friend! Unbelievable! ;)
