I was just speculating what Whoopi would say, or how she’d spin. She’s thinks she’s good at spinning, as when she said Michael Vick was just doing what was normal for the part of Georgia he grew up in. (That would be news for 99.9999999999% of Georgians.) Also, notice how the worst crime Vick’s semi-defenders could ever summon for him was his participation in dog-fighting, NOT dog electrocution, dog torture, etc etc. THOSE little details were always swept under the rug. It’s still not as good , or as totally rancid as what Vick himself said, as he counselled school children, and pretended to be penitent. “I made the mistake of being a follower, not a leader. Don’t be a follower”. People are still under the false impression that Vick just got sucked into involvement with a “dog fighting ring”. I think that Polanski would lose half his followers if THEY HAD EVER READ THE TRANSCRIPT! They’re still operating on the premise that he just crossed the line, as an oversexed middle-aged man, probably with a pubescent Lolita.
Its the “just crossed the line” part that gets me.
Its not a line, its a tall wall with razorwire, guard towers and spotlights. At least it should be.
