In an interview, Weinstein said that people generally misunderstand what happened to Polanski at sentencing. He's not convinced public opinion is running against the filmmaker and dismisses the categorization of Hollywood as amoral. "Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion," Weinstein said. "We were the people who did the fundraising telethon for the victims of 9/11. We were there for the victims of Katrina and any world catastrophe."
We shouldn't be surprised; this is a direct fallout from those idiot bumper stickers that say Democrats Care. 'Nobody else does, just us.' Apparently nobody else raised money/donated for 9/11 victims(damn few in Hollywood seem to give a crap about the troops fighting the enemy); and nobody but HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE were there after Katrina and whatever the Approved Cause de Jure is.
Oh, and Weinstein? Would have been nice if some of that wondrous compassion could have been given over to the troops keeping the enemy from raping you and cutting off your head, instead of you pissing down their back damn near from day one.

Like Marko, the Munchkin Wrangler says, "Hollywood's moral compass needs some serious recalibration, preferably with a framing hammer."
I'll buy a new one with a nice sharp waffle pattern for whoever wants to do the recalibrating.

Listened to a clip of woopy goldberg on the radio:
"this wasn't rape rape..."
as though there are differences between rape and err rape?
plying a 13 year old with drink and drugs then having anal sex with her is RAPE. (ok if the one with the dick was say 14 or under, he might have some excuse for underage sex, but anal rape by a full grown man - no excuses for that- even if the girl was already experienced)
Absconding rather than serving your sentence is serious shit too
can't say I'll be rushing out to watch many more holywood films, and I don't have a tv. Perhaps I should start prosletysing - starve the bastards out.
