Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 15, 2009
Transcript:
Boopsie: And then he started dropping all these big names who are supporting Polanski... people like Penelope Cruz and Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese and Adrien Brody - as if all that star power should make the slightest difference! B.D.: It sure as hell wouldn't to me! I'd tell Sid to take his benefit tickets and... and... Stallone's not on that list, is he? Boopsie: I can check.

With all the dumb actors who signed to free Polanski, it’s good to remember what Hitchcock said - actors are like cattle.

I thought that hitchcock, after being challenged about his statement, said “I said all actors should be TREATED like cattle”

Artistic genius (which, frankly, is a role in which I do NOT see Mr. Polanski) does not reduce the statute of limitations, nor does it preclude criminal behaviour.

Yes the world hasbetter things to worry abouthtan Roman Polanski but they should still try. ANy person who breaks the law should have a day in court. Just because he’s rich, it happened more than a decade aga, the girls mom is an idiot and she just got paid a fat check and is writng a book doesn’t mean convicted of sleeping with THIRTEEN year olds should go free.

Oh, well. So much for my saying how much BD has evolved (Oct. 13). But that’s part of what’s so real and so great about this strip. Like everyone else on the planet, BD’s personal growth is, at best, uneven. As I’ve said, I’m new here, but I’ve been reading Doonesbury since MIke showed up in his dorm to find that BD would be his roomie. Call me Pollyanna, but I just think it’s so cool that we’re all here debating this strip this way. Ever wonder if Trudeau reads any of this? Who knows, maybe jimpow’s real name is…

The trial is over. He plead guilty, then ran when he heard the sentence. As for the victim not wanting to press charges, irrelevant in molestation cases.

Fred Bassett: Cattle are much more human than actors. actors are between slime & lawyers.
