Whoopi Goldberg Excuses Rapist Roman

Whoopi Goldberg is usually out there.  But this time the View co-host has lost it.  She sees no reason to prosecute Roman Polanski for child-rape and being a fugitive from law.  What she refers to as "statutory rape" is completely inaccurate from the facts in the case.  Even if Polanski's victim was 21 years old this would be rape.



He plied her with liquor.  He drugged her with Quaaludes.  He then raped her vaginally and anally DESPITE HER PLEAS OF NO.  By her own ommission he ruined her life.  Then, rather than be a man and face his mistakes he ran to another country.  What is there not to get? Now the man has finally been captured and some people have lost their mind.

Even goofy Joy Behar gets it.  By the way for those of who are indignant this has nothing to do with LA politics oh indeed it does.  Its a crime that happened in Los Angeles and is now finally being prosecuted by the elected District Attorney of Los Angeles County, as all citizens expect him to prosecute crimes.
