I shouldn't even be wasting space on the matter, but do read this. Polanski's behavior was and is utterly indefensible.
Furthermore, one's artistic talents do not exempt one from the demands of justice. I cannot believe how many Hollywood nitwits and other self-proclaimed "cultural elites" are rushing to defend this -- I'm going to say it -- pervert. Megan McArdle has comments.

I figure Polanski has some illness, that will cost millions and millions to treat, and now he'll get free medical.

Yes, it does rather remind one of the defense of Bush's torture-murder regime by "conservatives".
Cheap shots aside, the really scary thing is not that a few nitwits in Hollywood suck up to Polanski. What's scary is how many of them are female. It seems that any male who dicks on women can always find another female to enable him.

That's what really gets me -- women, supposedly feminists, rushing to defend Polanski's drugging and assault of a 13-year-old!
