"In a later statement, Weinstein’s publicist Juda Engelmayer made out that Weinstein had been unfairly treated when he was “out with friends, enjoying the music and trying to find some solace in his life that has been turned upside down”. She described the scene as “downright rude"..............................................................................................................................................................Hey Juda. Keep trying to polish that turd but you do realise that however much polish you apply he's still a fucking turd and you are a worthless piece of shit shill for defending him.

Hilarious, and a great soul too. As a confirmed heterosexual cis-gendered old guy, I found his movie (from the play) Torch Song to be very moving -- it made me identify and empathize with a character who was outwardly about as unlike me as he could be.

So this is why that asshole's hideous face kept showing up on CP24 all afternoon.

"How do you know he's hurt? Are you a trained doctor? Maybe his leg always bends like that when he's been hit by a car. Are you trying to shame him for his joint deformity?"

When asked why she allowed Weinstein to attend an event specifically intended to support and encourage young actors when he has been accused of sexually assaulting and harassing dozens of them, Laliberte told BuzzFeed News: "I protect them by freedom of speech."

How does this work when everyone's free speech is being policed so they don't say mean things about Harvey? I mean, I'm not sure exactly how "free speech" protects anyone from being raped by a fat rich pig, but it certainly can't be effective if all you can do is say nice things about somebody.

Who the fuck actually defends *Harvey Weinstein*? It's horrifying that there are ACTORS who do.

A failure of shitty comics to capitalize on a golden situation. I don't think everyone should be rude to him, just people who can do the job well.

Also, Juda, you've got turd polish all over your hands.

Also too: how does one accidentally make a call on a phone with a touch-screen? It's not like the days of physical buttons where you could just press and hold "1" to call speed-dial preset 1.

This motherfucker should be afraid to show his face in public ever again.

I'm so out of touch that I would have assumed that Weinstein had long since been ostracized from polite society. Silly me.

But if you get cast in a breakthrough role, it's worth it, right?

Or if you only get cast in a tiny role that is 375th place in the credit roll, it's worth it, right?

Or if you get promised a tiny role and you don't actually get it but good ol' Harv' rapes you to pass the time of day, it's still worth it, right?
