When asked for his opinion of the proper disposition of the case of film director, Roman Polanski, recently arrested in Switzerland and being held for possible extradition to the U.S. on a thirty-year-old charge of statutory rape, columnist and wag, Patrick J. Buchanan, replied:
Wire up ol' Sparky and let 'im ride the lightning!
He was kidding of course. I mean...wasn't he?

I'd say the original sentence of 40 days in jail - doubled to 80 days as penalty for absconding - would be appropriate.

P.S. - Oh, yeah... one more thing: Let me go through the records of the other prisoners at whatever institution Polanski is sent to and then allow me to pick Polanski's cell mate.
Barker lives!

QUOTING --
"Last year, transcripts of Geimer's 1977 grand jury testimony, which resulted in six charges against Polanski, were made public. The transcipts include shocking details of 13-year-old Geimer testifying that the 43-year-old Polanski plied her with champagne and part of a Quaalude before performing oral, vaginal and anal intercourse on her, despite her demands to "keep away.""
You might want to check out the link and read the entire article, Rob.
Yeah... on second thought... perhaps "Old Sparky" is the way to go here.

I'm not defending Polanski. I just found Buchanan's quip amusing.
I'm happy to hear you're not defending Polanski, Rob.
Others are though.
What kind of sick ba$tard could defend Polanski? Any insight? I mean... we're basically talking "your side" of the ideological spectrum.
Rob. You're a father - same as me.
Don't get me wrong... I'm far more focused on the political, economic, social, and judicial issues that are the center of my blogging interests (just as literature and philosophy - the arts in all their forms - are your major blogging focus), but since you posted on the topic...
