Roman Polanski appeals to President Obama
With the help of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Roman Polanski is appealing all the way to President Obama to help end the senseless persecution of him for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl (like we all haven't done that before!). Yeah, good luck with that ya' silly little midget pervert. From The Daily Beast:

With the help of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Roman Polanski is appealing all the way to President Obama to help end the senseless persecution of him for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl (like we all haven't done that before!). Yeah, good luck with that ya' silly little midget pervert. From The Daily Beast:
In an astonishing act of backroom international diplomacy, French President Nicolas Sarkozy hand-delivered a letter from fugitive Oscar-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski to President Barack Obama last week on the sidelines of the international anti-nuke proliferation summit in Washington, according to a small and little-noticed article embedded in the prestigious French political magazine, L’Express.Is this a joke? Roman needs to pay for the unspeakable crime he's committed -- by continuing to live in his palatial estate where he is waited on hand and foot by his staff of Swiss manservants. If France's president actually thinks that the U.S. is going to let a guy go free after he's perpetrated unthinkable atrocities just because he's a celebrity in the film industry . . . then he knows our legal system better than I thought.
It is unclear what Polanski or President Sarkozy, for that matter, think that Obama might be able or willing to do for a man who has acknowledged giving a Quaalude and champagne to a 13-year-old girl he then sodomized.
Talk about dropping a stink bomb. The Polanski letter, which is not directly quoted in L’Express’ article, is said to suggest that the two months the aging director spent in a Swiss prison—in addition to the 47 days that he spent in detention in California in 1977—should suffice for the crime of unlawful sexual intercourse he pled guilty to. (Polanski is now under house arrest at his chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland while authorities seek his extradition to the United States.)
