SOME PIECE OF WORK Strauss-Kahn is turning out to be, with the latest headlines screaming…
Dominique Strauss-Kahn could face gang rape charges after US hotel orgy
I’m still wondering who at Huffington Post will get the Anne Sinclair interview? Sinclair is Strauss-Kahn’s wife, as well as the editor of Le Huffington Post, whose endurance has got to be at the point of breaking. His dangerous libido is putting her through yet another round of fresh hell.
France could have been stuck with the guy as president. That he was a respected member of the world elite, running the World Bank, is something worthy of pondering. If he weren’t among the 1% of the world’s 1% how would the police have handled his excursions?
The latest reports from the French media are harrowing, via the UK Telegraph:
During questioning in the so-called Carlton case – as many of the prostitutes operated out of a hotel of that name in Lille, northern France – Marie-Anne S. described a “violent scene” in the upmarket W hotel, near the White House.
She said Mr Strauss-Kahn “used force” against her. “He held my hands. He pulled my hair, he hurt me,” she told judges, adding that the former French finance minister tried to sodomise her.
“I refused saying no, I don’t want to…I clearly said I didn’t want to several times, out loud,” she reportedly told the judges.
French elections are Sunday and it looks like anti-austerity Socialist François Hollande, after winning the recent debate, as well as garnering a “centrist” endorsement, is poised to take the presidential prize.
“Ah that debate.” Mr Hollande said to chants of “François President”. “The incumbent placed so much hope on it … He thought he would eat me up in one mouthful, but I’m afraid he ended up going hungry.” – UK Telegraph
If François Hollande wins on Sunday, one of his brainy ideas is to lower the retirement age to 60 for some workers. It’s positively mad.
I’m not the least surprised by DSK’s latest oops-aw-shucks. This is a man that orbited in the upper stratosphere of power and prestige. Those men, and it is nothing by Testosterone floating up there in the upper political atmosphere, consider themselves demigods. The rules do not apply to them. DSK has never been held accountable for his excessive appetites; until New York.
The incident in New York ripped the veneer of DSK invulnerability, he became a mere mortal. Caged like any other sexual predator in NYC’s notorious Tombs, he became just another nasty, dirty, sexually brutal old man.
DSK was more than a 1%er , he was a .1%er, the very pinnacle of the bankster elite. I have very dim views of most of this lot; sexual excess to perversion is the least of their sociopathology.
Kinda hard to decide where it fits on that scale, but it’s certainly a part of the sociopathology. So much of what those folks have done in the last few years, they have done without being held accountable. DSK probably figured the good times would roll on forever.
I have nothing to go by but the BBC story, but I don’t necessarily think it’s mad. There’s a huge youth unemployment problem in France. One way to relieve that is to let older folks who want to retire a bit earlier. I suspect that people whose jobs involve physical labor would benefit from that policy, as would their employers.
Wonder if Ariana thinks he’s despicable?
Ouch.
