The liberal reaction to this Roman Polanski matter has been slightly off kilter, don’t you think?
The media has made it it’s job to defend him. Hollywood supports him. Hey, it’s just like he’s a Democratic candidate. All we need now are the teacher’s unions to support him. So in anticipation of that, CMR has decided to move the process along a little and come up with lyrics for teachers to teach their children to chant just like they did with Obama.
Mm, mmm, mm!
Roman Raymond Polanski
He said 13 or 14 years old is alright
All ages are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Roman Raymond Polanski
Hollywood says we must not extradite
To make him pay is McCarthyite
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Roman Raymond Polanski
Hollywood says we don’t treat celebrities this way
This is the country that let off OJ
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Roman Raymond Polanski
He said that sometimes you just have to scram
And for 30 years stay on the lam
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Roman Raymond Polanski
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Roman Raymond Polanski

France was happy to let him be, why can’t America set him free? mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm

Let's get it right. The mmmm, mmmm, mmmm goes BEFORE the name, not after.
With the name first, rather than mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, you'd hear barfing sounds.

This is not a "liberal reaction". This is a Hollywood celebrity response to the horror of one of their own being held accountable.
Libs are disgusted by his defenders as well:

If you're brilliant and make good art,
If you've suffered you can justify your part
Win an Oscar and we'll say she was dressed like tart
And you can hit on 13 year olds
with all your heart
MMMMMMMM.
Ew. I feel unsavory even in mocking him.

Well, in this case I'm not seeing a lot of support for Polanski in the MSM. I tend to avoid MSNBC except for tuning in to Morning Joe on occasion. There was a lot of disgust toward the "campaign for Polanski" on the part of commentators on both the left and right. The support seems to be centered among Hollywood types (I mean, Woody Allen signed the Polanski petition! Talk about a profound lack of self-awareness…)
The Hollywood "community" is really revealing its true colors on this one. People see it, and they are not amused.

A Hollywood liberal is still a liberal, Craig, just an awful one. I think we're all aware that most liberals don't think like that.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Roman Raymond Polanski.
He made the movie Rosemary's Baby
but really thinks all evil's just gravy.
Mmm,mmm, mm.

Roman Polanski is not a public-school teacher — are you channeling Dan Brown in choosing an all-purpose booger-man? Or perhaps Dear Leader in blaming everything on President Bush?
I do wonder how you will connect teachers to the Empire State Building being lit up in Red China's national colors.

Really, Mack? You think we're trying to link Roman Polanski to school teachers to prove a point and that we're not just making fun of an awful song? Really?
Fine, here's your Conservative conspiracy:
The public school system in California won't even let known rapist teachers be fired. Instead, they are perpetually suspended with pay. I'M MADE AS HECK, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
There. Enjoy. Don't say the internet never confirmed your bias for you.
