Schwarzenegger Won’t Pardon Polanski
Despite the laundry list of Hollywood celebrities demanding the freedom of Roman Polanski, California Governor and fellow Hollywood celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t be giving a pardon to the film legend/alleged child rapist anytime soon. The Governator gave his two cents on CNN’s The Situation Room yesterday:
It doesn’t matter if you are a big-time movie actor or a big-time movie director or producer. I think that he is a very respected person, and I am a big admirer of his work. But nevertheless, I think he should be treated like everyone else.
This was a pretty astute and diplomatic move for Arnie, considering the backlash that petition is inspiring. Chris Rock eviscerated the “Free Polanski Movement” on Leno last night (”even Johnnie Cochran don’t have the nerve to go, ‘well, did you see OJ play against New England?’”) and stars from Kirstie Alley to Kevin Smith have taken to their twitters to do the same. How long before those signees start to backpedal?

I can not believe people willing to forgive the sin of this man. This poor girl, yes she was a little girl when this happened. She has had to deal with this al her life, Were are these wonderful actors (I say with sarcasm) showing support for this women now. Do the laws not apply to the rich and famous. Maybe the Polanski supporters should ask Mr. Polanski to babysit there young daughters.

We live in a sick world, that anyone who has raped someone, will get support from .. the masses??? … And that the same people think that others of their same status, have special priveleges than the rest of the citizens in this country. He raped a child. What is wrong with these sickos?
Thank you Arnold.
