It really, really doesn't! Thankfully most of the other actors and artists I respect are against this slime ball and prefer seeing him locked up, but it's always discouraging to see another one added to the list of people in support for Polanski.
Makes you wonder how many of these people have their own closet criminal behavior they'd like excused.
That reminds me, I learned that Woody Allen supports the release of Polanski. Oh gee, why am I not surprised (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Allen#Soon-Yi_Previn).
To me it looks like most of the people supporting him are so ignorant about the man and his crimes because HE WON AN OSCAR for his ART. Uh, right, because it's impossible to separate the art from the man. Get back with us normal folk if and when that makes any sense.

In conclusion, what is this SHIT. Being an artist doesn't give you a free pass for being a complete scumbag. Trufax, Hollywood peeps.
