A French lawyer for director Roman Polanski, imprisoned in Switzerland, says a new bail offer will be filed today and it will be a “very, very significant” cash amount.

He is trying to buy his freedom. It is almost inevitable he will flee back to France, even if it costs him millions of dollars.

Andrew Bolt blogs on the support for Polanski from Gore Vidal:

Author Gore Vidal says he refuses to feel any sympathy for Roman Polanski’s rape victim, whom he dubs a “hooker.”

In an interview with The Atlantic, the controversial 83-year-old author of such books as “Myra Breckinridge” and “1876” says of the director’s sex scandal, “I really don’t give a [expletive]. Look am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s being taken advantage of?”

The young woman to whom he is referring is Samantha Geimer, who was a 13-year-old aspiring model in 1977 when she was drugged and raped by Polanski.

Even worse Vidal claims Polanski is being persecuted because he is Jewish! No it is because he is a rapist!
