DSK arrested

[thirteen]

WoW someone wants this asshat dsk to walk. To bad so sad sack that dsk is an alleged pedophile and a alleged rapist. Most folks I know do not have that against them.

where has it been said that DSK is a pedophile?

 

[Anonymous]

seriously?

Dominique Strauss-Kahn

nope. and even once you put his name up I had to google him to find out who he was.

i guess having lived in france the past several years -- and now living close enough -- this was hugely on our radar. (and discussed ad nauseum, me having to defend the perp walk photos as something we do in america -- not singling him out because he was a frenchman...)

note, i did answer your question, knowing you are quite handy with google

did it truly not make the papers there?

I doubt it. British press is British.

Glenn said it, isn't that proof enough?

....could be that there is be some confusion regarding two separate sex scandals involving French politicians( there are some very badly translated French reports on this on various internet sites that seem in a cursory reading to glom one scandal into the other) ...just to be clear there is a concurrent sex scandal in France that has a Conservative accusing a rival of apparently participating in an orgy in Morocco that included young boys...real details are scarce since they are still in the mud-slinging phase of the investigation...but it seems that part of the investigation is running into a snag since not only do the French have a functional justice system that actually requires genuine facts but the French public( which is not as flat-earth as its US counter-part) is smelling another Sarko psych-op and are not really buying into it...early indications are that this latest Sarko slime-grenade may end up blowing up in Sarko's face and really scupper his re-election bid...

Cheers

I doubt it. British press is British.

A quick google in the UK shows that just about every non-tabloid covered the story at many stages. BBC radio and TV covered it too.

Yeah I know. I was just kidding. I followed the story on the BBC news website, whose coverage is always very good.

Sure Glenn, even Cyclingnews found evidence against DSK.

Here is an IMF trainee hoping to be hired as secretary in his office, in this archive photo she appears to have the right credentials

I either saw a news report that mentioned he was an alleged pedophile and alleged rapist. Maybe they made it up. Sometimes this rapist stuff and pedophile go together like peas and carrots. Just saying.

Nice that you are sticking up for this upstanding individual. Too bad he still stuck in New York.

The IMF trainee link seems a bit inappropriate considering the context of the post you made and that picture.

Ah, OK I didn't get your winking smiley.

I have noticed that the BBC were much hotter on the story during the arrest stage than the subsequent collapse of prosecution case stage.

i think, as blutto stated, there was confusion with another french politician. the english-speaking articles that came out after DSK was arrested liked to lump them all together -- let's diss the frenchies.

as for your second statement, no. that's just ignorant.

Yeah, typical. I was crowing to colleagues yesterday how I'd predicted this all along and so on but then I realised that this actually works over the French Left again.

With the French press now trying to provoke the reignition of his candidacy, the Left has a huge dilemma: the guy's obviously got some bony skeletons in his filthy closet whatever did or didn't happen in New York. But then again what self-respecting bigwig French politician hasn't?

So he could equally prove an audacious choice - if nicely repackaged as some sort of truthsayer - especially in comparison with the Wet Wednesday Sisters, Royal and Aubry and that other bloke who's so whatever I can't even remember his name.

Sarko must be loving this, the smug sod. de Villepin is a mere distant memory, he's (re)moved Lagarde to a safer place and now, even if his dirty DSK deal backfired, there's still plenty of mileage left for screwing up the opposition.

Definitely inappropriate, but funny I thought. I was surprised the mods did not delete it.

they probably didn't check it because no one complained

That is true. I did not report it or nothing like it. But lets imagine that I put up a picture of a couple of French Girls doing some breathing exercise and linked it up as such. WTF would you're expression be? Just like I thought as long as DSK is hitting some south american or american hooker then it is not a prob. To bad ***-hats it is the same. HTFU fellers. I love when we can link some anglos sucking on something and it is cute.

 

[Bala Verde]

The picture was pretty funny in this context.

But let's not discuss what mods reads and don't read. Keep it on topic.

The conclusion appears to be that DSK is just a common pervert. His friends have deserted him, he hesitates to go out because he is regularly insulted, his faithful wife is sorting things out in her Moroccan riad, and he is implicated in every sex scandal that comes along. Nobody is calling him a "seducer" anymore, pervert is more like it.

I'd never heard of this person DSK until a few weeks ago. it sounded like a computer hard-drive but turns out its a slimy, elderly French VIP 'sex machine'.

I lol'd.

Okay, that was funny. But I think this thread, like DSK himself, has reached the likely end of all practical use to the majority of the humanity.
