"No wonder Middle America hates them." So
writes Katha Pollitt at The Nation. She's talking about those
morally monstrous celebs who have run to defend Roman Polanski.
The Pollitt column is great -- thoughtful, fact-filled, well
crafted. The mind boggles that ANYbody can defend Polanski. These
people are as far removed from decency as Michael Vick was at
odds with PETA's principles. They should be shunned from
all polite society and shunned from all studio work as well. Not
that they would even be aware of the former, mind you, which is
of course utterly alien to them. Foul, fetid Hollywood shows its
ugly face again.....
