I sent an e-mail to the radio talkshow host after listening to his show today. He castigated Whoopi Goldberg for her commentary about Roman Polanski, and rightly so.
However, he said Polanski was convicted of rape, which he wasn't. He was plead to sex with a minor, or whatever, and the girl got an undisclosed amount of money.
So I just sent an e-mail stating that, just a little bit ago, and he e-mailed me back, essentially saying rape is rape (and of course it is) and to say otherwise is "linguistic gymnastics". Gotta love that.
I e-mailed him back to say, the law is linguistic gymnastics...and today in Oregon, Roman's crime would be a Measure 11 and he'd be looking at serious time in the pokey.
Anyway, how cool is that..I shared a moment with a talking head! Woo hoo!
