Needed To Get This Out

I’m slightly overwhelmed today, as I have to write a biography for myself so that Evergreen can publish it in their newsletter. I have written a novel and am working on my second – I can blow through 5000-6000 words in a day easily. But writing about myself for something official is giving me writer’s block!

But this just had to be addressed.

The whole Polanski incident makes me want to vomit – preferably projectile and in Polanski’s face. Anyway…

Please don’t get me started about Whoopi “not rape-rape” Goldberg. I am not a violent person, but that asinine alibi she gave on The View… I’m just angry.

And now there is this – France’s culture minister, Frederic Mitterrand, wants to keep his job after defending Polanski. It seems some people did some snooping – and by snooping I mean reading what seems to be a published book – and apparently he is a sex tourist. (Umm, is that depraved or is that depraved? And gross. I feel like nobody on this planet knows what an STD is or cares if they contract one… or twelve. Again – gross!)

Who knows what age these boys were that Mr. Mitterrand was having sex with – I’m not sure at this point if that could be determined. But he called them “young” from everything I’ve seen and the age of consent in Thailand is technically 15. But once again, with this potentially being a child prostitution case, who knows. At 62, he easily could have described sex with twenty-or-thirty-somethings as “young boys”.

What gets me is at the end of this article, Mr. Luc Chatel says he is shocked that anyone would go “dig into the private past of public officials for political ends”. To quote Frank J at IMAO, “welcome to the Internet, Mr. Chatel”.

What I love about all this (and by love I mean hate) is that European smut is so much more pervasive than in America. There was a lovely little photo I rustled up of Miss Katy Perry walking out of Russell Brand’s house last Saturday morning. It wasn’t just her sneaking past out of a gate in a fence and into a car. She was walking down the stairs and he was standing in the door. And this is published in the Daily Mail! Not exactly the BBC, but still! Yet, Mr. Chatel is offended that something published in a book could possibly be used against a person in office. Never mind that something very easily involving child prostitution, human trafficking, modern day slavery.

Whoopi should have thought through her statements a bit. If Mr. Polanski had been black let’s just say the pending punishment may have been considered a bit more… urgent. (And Whoopi probably would have defended him even further.) As it stands, I wish somebody would get the urgency of this matter through their thick skulls. This behavior is absolutely wrong. It is morally evil. There is no exception for that.

My conclusion here is that perverts defend perverts. The vile defend the depraved. Sex with a thirteen year old in California is always rape. No exceptions. Even if she wanted sex it would be rape. I would wager Luc Chatel has a not-so-squeaky-clean past himself.

One of my friends who is also an author made the point that she wants the case to be dropped because Mr. Polanski’s victim wants the case dropped. I argued that in the United States, we don’t consider that justice. What if his victim wanted him executed? Then we execute? As it stands, I’m with Mychal Massie – just castrate the man. Flip a coin to determine whether he gets put under for the procedure. Seems like a fair punishment for the child rape-rapist.
