Did Dominique Strauss-Kahn think he woke up in a hotel in France??

About 57% of the French thinks it was a conspiracy. Other French Fries say he didn't fit the "profile" of a rapist. Of course he didn't - he's French.

Sarkozy is laughing all the way to the voting station...

Well, we can believe his word, the word of a very rich man about to stand for president, or the word of some immigrant single mother working the graveyard shift in a NY hotel. I bet she was gagging for it.

In one broad swoop, ol'wind bag has made politics the most noble profession in the world.
Being rich and standing for president is what every politician strives for, eh ?

That tail must have been DA BOMB for this fool to risk his entire career !

WOW!!! I'm trying to get my head wrapped around that logic BM. Yes, she is a single mother, legally in the US, holding a job that is union, paying taxes, working graveyard shift to support herself and her child. Her situation is no different that many single parents all over the world. Because she is a legal immigrant who is a single mother (doesn't matter if she is divorced and got pregnant without the benefit of marriage), she was "gagging" for it? Because he's rich, his word holds more weight over hers? And I guess if it is proven that he did what he is charged with he should be excused because he is rich and famous? If it was a woman of higher standing would his word be questionable?

No women, regardless of her station in life deserves what has allegedly been done to her. And no man, regardless of his station in life, should be excused for such an act.

Dominique Strauss-Khan resigned as CEO of the WMF this morning.

So he's still head of the IMF???

Innocent till proven guilty in my book.

He's resigned and it looks as if some French woman is being lined up for the job.

More like forced to resign I would think.

It seems a French woman will be coming out with her story about her "gagging" experience from 9 years ago. Well it seems the door has been opened and I'm sure there will be a few other women to go through it with a story.

I agree, innocent till proven guilty. And it appears that he will be proven guilty by all indications.

If reports are right Bora, he was about to resign anyway as he was to run for President.
DSK has had affairs in the past, he doesn't deny it. There are bound to be women crawling out of the woodwork all over the place. It's the nature of the beast.

I ask myself why a man of his influence would need to attack a hotel maid? Women would be falling over themselves for a man in his position.

What are you waffling on about now munchkin? Is that you trying to be sarcastic? I only ask because of the rolling eyes.

Well, well, well. Seems that Mr Douche is getting special treatment. Will be living in an apartment on the East Side with wifey, he put up bail of $1 million and $5 million in assets, will be wearing an ankle bracelet, and will have to pay $200,000 a month for body guards. All this while he waits for his trial. Up to that point he had his own wing at Rikers Island. He's up for 7 counts of sexual assault and attempted rape. Hope he enjoys his freedom - seeing as how he can afford it - because the grand jury had no problem beliving what the housekeeper had to say. He faces up to 25 years in prison - and his money isn't going to make that disappear.

Now, if it was Joe Schmo facing the same charges he would have a few roommates in one cell waiting for a trail date.

it appears now that Gordon Brown has thrown his name in the hat to fill the shoes of Strauss-Kahn, the IMF should know they would be better off with 'Charlie Brown' in the driving seat.

Oh no please no. I thought I had heard the too but hoped it was the effects of the Chardonnay

On a side note, my eldest daughter read Sarah Brown's book whist she was on holiday. She said it was an excellent read. I always thought she looked a bit bland, Sarah, that is. I was going to give it a go but the book got dropped in the pool on the last day.

Just saw on Sky News that DSK has had to go to some down market building in NY after the location of his penthouse suite was revealed. All this is costing him circa $150.000 a month.

I'm suspicious...

Maybe Gordy threw his name in when he found out that there's a nice pension that goes along with the job. Mr Douche will collect a pension of $318,000 - for life. He held the position as head of the IMF from 2007-to 2011. Five years giving away money and you get this kind of a pension??? Unbelieveable!!!! I don't think Mr Douche will have much to worry about ending up as someone's b*tch while in prison, but the money sure will come in handy keeping the rapists away.

It is to be hoped for your sake Bora, that DSK is in fact guilty after his day in court! otherwise you will have a lot of back pedalling to do! There are mitigating circumstances in every case of this nature, all we have at the moment, regardless of historical events, is the word of a Chambermaid! Let’s see what the jury says before he’s castrated and hung out to dry.

If I posted this twice would you read it again?

Geez Dillon, I got a bit worried when you said "for your sake Bora". I thought something very bad would happen me.

Sure I would read it again. I won't backpedal if he's found "innocent". My response would be: Ooooops!!!! and once again if you have the money, everything and everyone is for sale.
