It's irrefutable. I am informed that the Liberal Establishment wants Roman Polanski released. But everyone on my Friends List who has discussed it pretty much agrees with me: Roman Polanski raped a 13-year-old and should be treated accordingly. In fact, it would appear that in this case, the Liberal Establishment is a few showbiz people who have found ways to argue that their crony and colleague is a Special Case, which is unpleasant in a case this nasty, but hardly a cause for shock.
