Yes.

My question is, after he pleaded guilty, how did he get out of the country? I assume he was released pending sentencing or something, but don't you have to surrender your passport and do other various things?

If Wiki is reasonably correct, he's a French citizen (hence no extradition from France), and he skipped out while under a court order that allowed him to travel abroad to finish a movie.

Sure there are. Host fundraisers for politicians and wait until the last days of their term in office.

The page is now locked, so who knows whether the reliable or unreliable information got locked in place.

But I'm even more confused. It says he travelled abroad, then came back for a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, and then was released after 42 days (which I assume means he was quasi-incarcerated).

Poland/France are asking the hil to ask the B-man to PARDON him. And I recall a big Hollywood movement that supported that a few years back. do not be surprised if he gets pardoned,

I *would* be surprised if he gets pardoned w/o at least serving some time and waiving extradition.

Poland and France would also have to agree to vote for Chicago this Friday. Chicago-politics on the international scale. BO will probably give RP a pension, too.

They need to talk the the governator . . . after being given a lesson on the federal-state system.

I also picked Cincinnati over Pittsburgh! Unfortunately I lacked the conviction to believe Tennessee would start 0-3 and I had no idea that Jacksonville might win a game.

And in other football news, fuck Brett Favre.

Though how the Niners couldn't work a few more seconds off the clock there astounds me.

I think his movies are very good, I feel terrible that his pregnant wife was killed, but he committed a crime, plead guilty to that crime and then fled the country before he served a day in jail. I don't give a fuck if he's already paid her off. I don't give a fuck that it's so unfair that he's had to live a life of exiled luxury in France. I don't give a fuck if he didn't get to pick up his Oscar personally. He raped a girl, and he was convicted of that rape. And he should go to jail.

It really shouldn't just be going to jail.

California should give him a "lifetime achievement award".

Why is the guy afraid of jail? He thinks anal rape is no big deal.

You said "rape" twice.

BO needs to send some midwest farmers' daughters, because once Rio starts showing the pics, it has to be a lock to get the games.*

*Madrid? 2012 is in London. 2004 was in Greece. Too Euro-heavy.
Tokyo? It's their time, but too bad about Beijing in 2008 and Australia in 2000.
Chicago? It's the US. The US still sucks to the rest of the world.
Plus, by voting for Rio, every country can get itself in play for 2020, since there won't be any places off limits (no other S. Am. city could realistically do it right now).

I hope you're right. I don't want to (a) move or (b) pay the corruption tax we're going to get hit with if we get the Games.

And, yes, Madrid drops first b/c of London, then Tokyo b/c of Beijing, and it's b/t Chicago and Rio, with the stated decision-making standards weighing in favor of Rio, since SA has never hosted the games. Not that the stated standards mean anything.

I'm pro-Rio. I think it'd be good for all of South America.
