Whoopi Goldberg doesn't have the moral sense of a Frenchman

The French director Luc Besson refused to sign the petition calling for Polanski's release.

He said: "I have a lot of affection for him, he is a man that I like very much but nobody should be above the law. I don't know the details of this case, but I think that when you don't show up for trial, you are taking a risk."

A 45 year old man plies a 13 year old girl with champagne and quaaludes, rapes and sodomizes her, tries to get her to keep it a secret from her mother, and then flees the country before the trial when it looks like he might actually be convicted.

Take a look at the transcript over at the Smoking Gun.

And Whoopi thinks it's not "rape-rape." Oh, really?! Well, then, what the hell is it?

Well, she knows she tossed the shan into the fit, because she's apparently trying some damage control:

Whoopi wanted to clarify the comment and make it clear that she was talking about the legal charge against Polanski at the time.

No, Whoop, you said something that displayed an incredible, insensitive, ignorant, and idiotic lack of character.

Even a Frenchman knew better.

Just another reason I love Luc Besson (beside the fact that he's the director of several of my favorite movies!).

That right there is proof that there is hope for the French yet! :)

I didn't realize it, but he directed the Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis, which I absolutely LOVE!!!--- Katwww.CatHouseChat.com"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."

Sad that Polanski pled out and didnj't have to go before a jury. Sad also that whatever punishment he receives it won't be what he deserves (say, castration with a dull spoon followed by incarceration with the most vile, disgusting gangbangers, etc., in genpop in a really rough "car" with a sign tatooed on his forehead" child rapist").
