The recent arrest of Roman Polanski in Switzerland on flight charges stemming from his admission of guilt in the rape of a 13 year old girl some thirty years ago has presented Wonderboy's administration with a dilemma.
As a socialist and extreme liberal, the First Rookie probably, naturally, wants to instruct his Justice Department to let the matter drop. After all, if the US doesn't follow through with extradition, the situation resolves by Polanski slipping back into France and taking more care in his future travels.
But such an action by the president would, by now, further infuriate the independent voters in the broad middle of the country. Even the very liberal NPR reporter Cokie Roberts was seen in a video clip on Bill O'Reilly's program last night saying of Polanski, simply,
"Just take him out and shoot him."
The extensive coverage of the situation in the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal indicated that not every Hollywood director is backing the Polish-born fugitive.
Of course, if Wonderboy allows Justice to follow through and return Polanski to face charges of flight, and whatever sentence is waiting for his actual admission of rape, liberals will have another reason to feel duped and cheated by voting for the current president.
What to do, indeed?
This one is a peculiar challenge for the inexperienced Rookie. It's a simple matter of making a binary decision. Either bring Polanski back, or not.
There's really no wiggle room, and enough days have passed for everyone who will care to have become aware of the situation.
Should be fascinating to watch this one play out.
