Gore Vidal has come out with a ringing defense of Roman Polanski — he says the 13-year-old recipient of Polanski’s attentions (back in the day) was a hooker. And this makes everything better . . . how exactly? Polanski hired a 13-year-old hooker? And then drugs her? Most men who hire prostitutes just pay them — they don’t have to dope them up also. Polanski must have been quite the charmer.

Maybe that 13-year-old wasn’t as tall and pretty as Natalie. Because as much as Doug Wilson says Natalie’s height and appearance “are irrelevant”, somehow they’re relevant enough that he repeatedly brings them up.
Tess, thank you for the rescue. I’ve been twisting in the wind wondering if anyone got it (and I see a few other applications in addition to yours, but none as concise).
