L'affair D'Polanski

Apparently some people think Roman Polanski should be let go and have charges against him dropped because he's an accomplished film director:

Fuck him. I liked some of his movies. No movie is so great that I'm going to excuse you for rape though.

Fuck him and fuck everyone who thinks *artistes* should be allowed to get away with shit, just because they might have made a good movie once.
