France’s culture minister had this to say about the arrest of Roman Polanski:
Mr Mitterrand said the US’ behaviour, in seeking his extradition, was callous and “horrifying”.
And this is what Mitterrand said in a book he published several years ago:
In his 2005 book The Bad Life, he wrote: “I got into the habit of paying for boys,” saying his attraction to young male prostitutes was not dimmed despite knowing “the sordid details of this traffic”.
“All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excited me enormously… the abundance of very attractive and immediately available young boys put me in a state of desire.”
I thought it was pretty funny that Woody Allen was a Polanski supporter, but this…

I’ve never been a fan of his work. Aside from The Pianist I think his movies stink.
I think Chinatown is one of the best movies ever!
I’m with you on this one Kev. Never been a great fan. How anyone can defend his actions is beyond me. At 1st the accusations against Jennings the “Safe school Czars” were beyond my rebuttal. Beck was called a liar. Now “in writing” and actions it certainly appears this guy (Jennings) is way off the chart. Time and time again it is who Obama has surrounded himself with. I think even liberals are starting to recognize that Obama is not a liberal he is far more than that. He truly believes that the destruction of this country is the right thing to do. He has said many times it should be a 1 world goverment. I think we can guess who he thinks should lead it. Register as an independent. Vote in both primaries and let’s get rid of all these incumbents. Our congress is so corrupt they allow a crimial (Blogjevich) to appoint Roland Burris just to get a vote. Mass. legislature is changing the law so the Dem. Gov. can appoint a Dem. replacement for Kennedy. A law Kennedy fought for and had passed in Mass. Now only to be changed so a vote can be had. And guess what? Burris will have full senate retirement and health coverage. They (congress) will not even apply the same rules to themselves. We by far have the most corrupt goverment in history. That includes both Dems and Repubs. It really is time for people to start raising heck. Give me give me rules the day.
