In Polanski's case it took long enough.

A lifetime to earn respect and a moment to lose it.

Actually Cosby was a sexual predator for a lifetime. Not a moment.

Cosby gets kicked out immediately upon being found guilty. it took 40 years for Polanski.... 40 years, and Academy Award where all the left got up and gave a standing ovation.


funny how that happened.


(note this is no defense of Cosby)

I'm surprised they included Polanski. His wrong's were concerning a minor which we are still sweeping under the rug and after all those decades that excuses were made for him.

That they're not giving the black guy a 41 year lead the way they did the white guy seems a little disingenuous...lol.

Damn thats worse than prison.. Oh wait, nah not really.
The city of sleaze pretending to care that sleazy things happened.
Im sorry but going through the motions pretending to be serious is possibly worse than simply ignoring it as that industry has done for decades.

I know, let the villains shed some tears, beg forgiveness and check into a high priced luxury treatment center. All is good then.
An industry who accepts child stars being abused mentally, physically and financially, has no credibility.

If he was a Republican, he'd qualify for Senator.
