Ann Althouse demolishes ‘philosopher’ Bernard-Henri Lévy in The Philospher’s Petition just a few days after Harry’s Place expresses some surprise at the special pleading – especially from the French – over the arrest of the criminal fugitive Roman Polanski.
If you’d like to know why Althouse is right and French Philosophes wrong, read the grand jury account of the rape and sodomy of a drunk, drugged, 13 year-old girl. Then marvel at the free passes you get if you’re moderately talented auteur.
