Is this the same Liz Smith who used to be on Washington Week in Review back in the early ‘80s?

I’m glad her mind is still reasonably sharp.

"Not only has Harvey destroyed himself, his company may go under, his marriage is over, his children are — well, God knows what they are going through. And every person connected with him has been stained, some quite unfairly. It has, of course, become a political football, with conservatives forgetting SO much of their own history in such matters, and neatly side-stepping the fact that this story initially broke in that liberal bastion, The New York Times. (They only run “fake news” when it’s about the president, you see.)"

Can anyone cite for me a "conservative" who has raped anyone???

This whole thing poisons any move with his name on it.

The point of movies is to “suspend disbelief” in the audience to “feel” what is happening on the screen is real. But people attached to a film with really bad off screen antics prevent me from suspending disbelief.

To use hyperbole: If Hitler was an amazing film producer, I could not watch any of his films, for obvious reasons. I couldn’t get past what he did to make the films.

It’s a bit like wearing clothing that you KNOW was made by young children in prison with an 18 year life expectancy.

I’ll be going through my extensive collection of DVDs and BlueRays. Any with him attached will be burned in the trash.

Yep. It's like the guy who played Kramer on the Seinfeld show. He was a fan favorite for years and years but all he'll be remembered for is those 5 minutes on stage when was yelling the N word.

It’s gonna be funny to watch Hollywood whores lecturing us about morality again at the Academy Awards again this year. Anyone remember that Meryl Streep speech where she was castigating Trump for his salty language?

At that very moment she knew all about Weinstein and had for years.

Roy Moore and Mike Pence are radical extremists to be afraid of?

What a dope, the sort who thinks John MCain and Linda Graham are too conservative.

Harvey’s wife was complicit in all of this.

He told his targets that it was ok with his wife and he blacklisted actresses who didn’t have his wife make their awards gowns.

We’ve struggled, actually, to write about the scandal. But just as it seemed “complete” another ghastly revelation would surface.

I wonder how many pervs are shaking in their boots that they too will be exposed.

Won't it be funny when a whole lot of them are blaming each other as being worse then them.

Then maybe we will see the pedos exposed.

Lordy, lordy.

I think you are referring to Leni Reifenstahl, a very talented filmmaker who made propaganda gilmd for Hitler. No one can deny she was amazingly talented, but it’s not like she has a legacy as a filmmaker today. Even though many of the techniques she pioneered are still used in sports and elsewhere.

I was just using hyperbole to point out that sometimes a person’s off screen (i.e. REAL) persona is just so evil/bad/wicked that you can’t get that out of your mind when exposed to their stuff.

It’s why I got rid of all Barbra Streisand albums decades ago.

I have the same question. That sentence jumped out at me too.

Aside the joy over the stupid pride flag, the sentence you highlighted is a damn joke.

Well of course all these old ladies have no problem with Harvey. He didn't bother with old women, he went after the young, and gullible.

I'm 70 now, but when I was in my early 30's, I was working as a C.O. The job I had was running the phone-home program at Auburn Prison in NY State. The inmates would come down to the phone room to make their phones calls. They got two a month, and the officer running the program would dial the numbers from an approved contact list, and make the collect calls, then once the calls were connected, I would connect the call to one of the phone booths in the room. The inmates got 10 minutes for their calls. I usually had two inmate phone clerks there to help organize the cards for those who were scheduled. They'd also set up the next date for their second call of the month. One day I got a new inmate clerk. He was a young guy who was doing time for rape. I went to discuss this with the Sergeant who supervised my area, and his reply to me was "You've got nothing to worry about...he only likes them young." I never had a problem with any of the clerks who worked with me. Some of them were lifers. I never took any guff from any con during my 25 years. Once you are labeled a hard-liner, who does your job, and can't be conned, they left you alone.
