Hattip to Instapundit. Oh to be a fly on the wall during that interrogation!

Oh, yes! Imagine Friday’s and Joe Gannon’s reaction to Polanski’s assertion that “everyone” wants to have sex with little girls.
“Mister, that might be true of everyone you know, but here on Planet Earth,…,”
Everyone can suffer from temptations no matter how sick the temptations are, but I think only FUGITIVE CHILD RAPISTS think ‘everyone’ wants to have sex with little girls.
Even if ‘everyone’ wanted to, does that make it right?
Ironically, the only sensible comment (at least, comparatively speaking) came from a Hollywood Actor/Comedian Lefty, Christ Rock:
Give Jewel (the singer) credit for reacting like a decent person as well. A few days ago this came up on her Twitter feed:
So that makes, what–three members of the entertainment industry so far who aren’t interested in getting the sonofagun off?
Whoops. Don’t know what happened there. Trying again:
Polanski-admitted raping a 13 yr old-whys every1 in the arts upset hes facing jail? cause hes a gifted director? what am i missing?7:03 AM Sep 29th from web
Make that four–I just jumped off the Chris Rock link e thoughtfully provided in the previous post and found this:
“Perhaps inspired by Debra Winger’s ranting, Kirstie Alley decided to weigh in on the situation via the popular time-wasting device Twitter. Composed using an interesting method of seemingly random capitalization, Alley fired off well over twenty tweets on the controversial subject, including the following: ‘JUST FOR THE RECORD….RAPE IS RAPE…this is one HOLLYWOOD STAR who does not CELEBRATE or DEFEND Roman Polanski..his ART did not RAPE her.'”
