Cokie: 'Take Polanski Out and Shoot Him'

He 'drugged and raped a child,' says journalist

Share

(Newser) – It wasn't hard to figure out yesterday where journalist Cokie Roberts stands on the Roman Polanski case. "As far as I'm concerned, just take him out and shoot him," she declared on ABC's This Week. "Roman Polanski is a criminal. He raped and drugged and sodomized a child, and then was a fugitive from justice." Polanski is battling for his freedom from a Swiss jail while he fights US extradition on a 31-year-old Los Angeles rape case.

Yes, that's interesting; Rape,David Letterman,ABC, Child Rape, Polanski. Is there something as yet untold? We need to be informed - Letterman has probably been up to all kinds of other sleazy antics.

It's good to have this tool finally unmask herself -- she is not, never was, and never will be worthy of being referred to as a journalist.
