CANNES, France (AP) -- Woody Allen has restated his support for fellow filmmaker Roman Polanski, who is in house arrest in connection with a 33-year-old sex scandal.

Allen said Polanski "was embarrassed by the whole thing," "has suffered" and "has paid his dues." He said Polanski is "an artist and is a nice person" who "did something wrong and he paid for it."

Don’t forget - Woody Allen is the guy who married his step-daughter.

>>Allen said Polanski “was embarrassed by the whole thing,” “has suffered” and “has paid his dues.” He said Polanski is “an artist and is a nice person” who “did something wrong and he paid for it.”

Oh, as long as he’s an “artist” then we should leave him alone! Justlike the “artists” that tell the people to stop using energy as they hop in their jet to go buy a new baby in Africa, or spend $2000 a month on electricity to light their mansions. A bunch of damn hypocrites!

So living in luxury in Europe for years and years is “paying his dues”. Too funny. How about spending that time behind bars being afraid to bend over in the shower. Now that’s paying your dues.

.
From the late 90s:

The Stockpile Song

Take the flag down from the place
where it led the human race.
Run up U. N. white and blue.
That’s what your “leaders” plan to do.
The don’t seem to understand
we are a patriotic band.
We’ll spread the word across the land:
Stockpile weapons while you can.

Public schools were first to go.
They’re run by leftists as you know.
So school your children safe at home,
free from their propaganda zone
They don’t want to understand
we are a family loving band.
We’ll spread the word across the land:
Stockpile textbooks while you can.

Stage, and screen, and on TV,
mocking God in all we see.
They may close the church some day,
but they can’t stop us when we pray.
They refuse to understand
we are a Jesus loving band.
We’ll spread the word across the land:
Stockpile Bibles while you can.

Somewhere there near your home town,
professor’s robe or judge’s gown,
there is a leftist who must go.
So lock and load and let them know.
Time will come they’ll understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land:
Stockpile weapons while you can.

Let’s all move to France, call ourselves artists, and get away with anything we want to do.

"33-year-old sex scandal. "

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Gee, I thought it was called forceable sodomy and rape, or as the indictment read...

Furnishing a controlled substance to a minor
Lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14
Rape by use of drugs
Perversion
Sodomy on a person

Apparently, all that is what constitutes a "sex scandal" at the Associated Press, apparently.

Another Pedophile piece of trash goes out to fight for his fellow Pedo.

How touching.

Woody Allen need to go to jail. Not for being a criminal but, for his acting.
