All kinds of things were wrong with a front page story on the New York Times about the Roman Polanski case. The worst offense is how the author drew a parallel between Polanski giving a 13-year-old girl Quaaludes and raping her with the Woody Allen film, “Manhattan,” in which Allen’s character is dating an 18-year-old played by Mariel Hemingway. Thirteen and 18 are two entirely different universes when you’re talking about maturity levels, not to mention one was real life and one was a movie. [New York Times]

I third. Nooo! At the same time though, I can see where she is coming from. 4-8 years as Secretary of State, all the time as Senator and First Lady, plus the constant attacks and ridicule from some camps… Homegirl deserves a nice, long, relaxing retirement.
