    Woody did make a valid point about it turning into a witch hunt. Sort of covering a wide area in context. Gossip mongering has ruined more people than the truth ever could have. Not that I have much sympathy for Weinstein.
    What I found interesting is this article on that page:

    Comic George Lopez was booed off stage at a gala for juvenile diabetes in Denver last week, over an anti-Donald Trump routine that fell flat with the crowd.


    I used to like Lopez but started to drift away when he began getting anti-white instead of poking fun at everybody's stereotype. Note, when told to knock it off he offered up a backhanded apology. Screw him. Pinche racista!

    Trying to recover and sensing the audience turn, Lopez said, “Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”

      I'd like to see him quartered for his left-wing fund-raising activities; but more power to him for banging the bimbos! Since he should have had the brains to realize that no amount of cringing & groveling & hand wringing was going to save him from being crucified by the PC press, he could have chosen to go down with some degree of dignity by saying "these sluts asked for it and it was fun while it lasted."

            Again, curious that this has erupted now. Perhaps they think that with the change of administration and tone in D.C.-and the country at large-they feel the need to start policing their own. Hollywood is a business and they have the example of the NFL before them.

              It is a witch hunt. It's another wave of stupidity. Jesus Freaks. Mao's Little Red Book. This is another. Hollywood knows enough to get out of the way. Weinstein is old,fat and ugly. They've made enough money off of him and he goes under the bus. Hollywood hasn't seen the light, they are just too smart to ignore this. Like fat old football coaches screwing boys in the shower and fat old priests screwing boys in the..ah, rectory, it's all just fine until someone gets caught. Hey, Weinstein was at least(AFAIK) straight, but when the lib's start eating their own, it's time to get with the right team. One woman comes out; and then 34 or so others jump on board. Gutless bitches. I usually use that slag for cheap shot bully's(male),but in this case it's in the feminine. Plenty of derision to go around.

                When will the liberals pay someone tens of thousands of dollars to make a rape allegation only to rescind it later, in an attempt to at least partially invalid all the genuine claims?

                I would have expected them to have already done this.

                    Well, Hillary just said we elected a rapist President.

                    She's right, you know. His name is William Jefferson Clinton.

                      Woody Allen said “don’t knock masterbation, it’s sex with someone I love”, must have been thinking of relative Harvey.

                        Actually Woody said:
                        "The difference between sex and death is, with death, if you do it by yourself no one laughs at you."

                          Another great Woody Allen quote; "The only time my wife and I had a simultaneous orgasm was when the judge signed the divorce papers."

                            I do - complete with pitchforks, pitch torches, and burning at the stake.

                            I'll be the one over there with the marshmallow and grilled cheese sandwich concession.

                              Another...
                              Diane Keaton: You're the greatest lover I ever had.

                              Woody Allen: Well I practice a lot when I'm alone.
