Plenty of celebrities issued crazy statements in their efforts to defend director and rapist Roman Polanski but none went as far as author Gore Vidal did when he labeled Polanski's victim a "young hooker."

In an Oct. 28 interview with The Atlantic's John Meroney about a variety of topics, Vidal claimed he didn't "give a f---" about the Polanski case. "Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she's been taken advantage of?"

Wonderin’ how Gore Vidal could possibly be news today.

[gussiefinknottle]

vidal is known in italy for the stock of young boys he used and abused.

[Tublecane]

If she’s a hooker, how come Polanski didn’t pay?

[FormerACLUmember]

A vicious dishonest mysogynist lie from a vicious dishonest aged queer.

[Huskrrrr]

Gore Vidal has always given me the creeps.

[Kakaze]

well, the story is totally different now from what it was then.

Whatever polanski told you in the steam room is hear-say.....read the court testimony,this man ran because he knew, what he did was wrong.

I sincerely hope, it was the only time but I imagine he has worked his way across europe raping children.

[subterfuge]

Don’t really care. Polanski is a POS, but the girl, who is now a middle aged woman, doesn’t want him prosecuted, so I’m fine with her being slandered. She doesn’t want to uphold her duty to Americans? Fine, live with it.

Gore Vidal - isn’t he dead yet?

[Huskrrrr]

Vidal should be given the “Oscar Wilde” award for a life of hedonism.

[ClearCase_guy]

Old Fag calls rape victim a Young Hooker.

[ozzymandus]

Gore Vidal is a crazy old anti-American commie queer.

[nickcarraway]

Gore Vidal thinks all women are hookers.

[nickcarraway]

Oscar Wilde came to God before he died.

[Huskrrrr]

True. A good lesson for Gore Vidal.

[domenad]

Oh who cares what this old crank has to say, really?

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

that’s okay....Gore Vidal’s an old fag, so he ought to know about such things.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

He was prosecuted. He pled guilty. He just hasn’t served his time.

And her life is made miserable everytime it comes up in the press. If he had just served his time back in the 70’s, it would be part of her past. But he didn’t. So she has to deal with the press time after time.

So for her wanting all of that to go away, you are fine with her being slandered.

[mware]

William F Buckley knew how to deal with people like Vidal.

[Dr. Sivana]

Vidal should be given the “Oscar Wilde” award for a life of hedonism.

That reward should be reserved for those who know how to write.
