Maher’s new rules on Roman

Bill Maher has some advice for Roman Polanski, who’s behind bars in Switzerland, fighting extradition to California: “Come back and go to jail.” Interviewed by The Wrap, the HBO host said, “I don’t understand why Hollywood defends somebody like that. It makes it so easy for conservatives to say that Hollywood has no values. It makes us look so bad. Why people I respect, like Martin Scorsese and Harvey Weinstein and Whoopi Goldberg . . . How can these people not see something so black and white? You cannot give a 13-year-old girl drugs and [bleep] her in the [bleep] . . . For Hollywood to rally around these guys smacks of what the Catholic Church does when it defends its pedophile priests . . . He never paid the price for a pretty horrible crime . . . This girl — if you read the testimony — makes the hair on back of your neck stand up. She was saying no. I guess to a director you have to say, ‘Cut.’ “
