After see him in court in the news, maybe due to the yellowness of the picture, DSK really resembled Mr. Burns from the The Simpsons. Except maybe for not be bald.

I always thought George W and Colin Powell were a perfect match for Montgomery Burns and Wayland Smithers.

As to Dominique Strauss Kahn, the yellow is probably from hepatitis.

After a certain amount of money…  I'm not even going to bother explaining it…

Watch this Brazilian central banker:

The real problem is that Dominique Strauss Kahn wanted to be president.  Sarkozy gave him a lesson in a world of power where other people with power might not like you.

That's a lot different from the world of central bankers.

I guess Dominique Strauss Kahn can hang out with Eliot Spitzer now.

Someone told him that a prostitute dressed up like a hotel maid would be coming over and he could act out his rape fantasy with her.

... and then they sent in the legitmate hotel maid.

I thought about it, but if it's true, he should not have claimed everything was done under consent. He should have said the truth... or hiring a prostitute is punished more severely by NY state than trying to rape someone?

It's illegal, but nowhere as bad as rape.

Well, well... for Portugal and its negotiations with the IMF I guess we can use Renato Seabra (and his corkscrew), which happens to be in the same jail as DSK, to get a better deal.  Grin

Nevermind, for some folks there's no "France" but "Europe" and we all speak French

I don't see why someone would judge the whole population of a country based on the actions of one of its citizens.
I'm still glad to know that in NY anyone has the right to justice, on some countries a guy with the wealth of DSK would simply runaway or the victim wouldn't stand even a chance to accuse him.

To me this DSK affair is a shame for my country.  Especially since french medias knew about his perverted behaviors, but they didn't talk about it, pretexting it was his "private life".

I'm ashamed to be french, honnestly.
That's ridiculous, there are much better reasons to be ashamed of being french

Do you take for granted that he's guilty?

I'm still unsure about this whole story, so I set a poll:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8796.0

Not for granted, but to me, there's a 90% chance he did try to rape that maid.

This is true. But, unless you're part of these leftists, still, no reason to be ashamed.

What bothers me is the large acceptance of that bad argument, rather than leftist making it. Can't blame people for trying to defend themselves, however bad the defense is. I'm annoyed that it is acknowledged as a valid point.

So, what are your speculative theories about it? Did he really try to rape the girl, was it an orchestrated coup?
My guess is that he was expecting a prostitute and the poor woman had to beat him really hard for him to realize it was not her. Cheesy

Exactly what I was thinking =P

Technically, leftists are bitching about the heavy media coverage around this business, claiming it sullies DSK's reputation, and are outraged that he isn't getting a vip treatment.

Honestly, this is silly, at least. Imagine if I were going to feel ashamed every time someone who born inside the same imaginary lines I was born did something horrible... haha, I'd never leave home anymore!

If he was English, his lawyer would have obtained a superinjunction so that most people would never have heard about it.

You shouldn't be ashamed to be French because of this asshole any more than we should all be ashamed to be human because of him.

I just hope stuff like this eventually makes it click in people's heads that our overlords are not looking out for us.

I'm kinda ashamed of being French when I see the reactions of the French opinion to this. Technically, leftists are bitching about the heavy media coverage around this business, claiming it sullies DSK's reputation, and are outraged that he isn't getting a vip treatment. It is sickening to witness a people demand privileges to be given in both treatment and accountability in front of justice to those who hold power.

Of course they are. Why else would he advocate a one world currency?
