"(Polanski was) thrown to the lions. In the same way that there is a generous America that we like, there is also a scary America that has just shown its face."
-- French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand last week, responding to the arrest of Roman Polanski for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl three decades ago
"Yes, I had (sexual) relations with young men, but one cannot confuse pedophilia with homosexuality."
-- French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand last night, appearing on French television and trying to distance himself(?) from comments made in a 2005 memoir in which he wrote, "The profusion of attractive and immediately available boys puts me into a state of desire that I no longer need to hide or check. Money and sex, I am at the heart of my system."
Happy Friday, folks.
And thank you, God.
