... or a crazed sex poodle, perhaps?

Dominique Strauss-Kahn underwent forensic tests today following his arrest on sex attack charges in New York - as a second woman in Paris reported him for attempted rape.
The 62-year-old head of the International Monetary Fund, who was tipped to become the President of France next year, ‘vigorously’ denies the claims made by an unnamed American chamber maid.
But now Tristane Banon, the 31-year-old god-daughter of Strauss-Kahn’s second wife Brigitte Guillemette, said he attacked her almost a decade ago.
"SNIP"
Ms Banon’s mother, Anne Mansouret, said the only reason she did not press charges at the time was because 'she was just starting out in journalism' and was afraid of being 'defined by the story' of being attacked by a senior politician Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1387621/Tristane-Banon-says-raped-IMF-chief-Dominique-Strauss-Kahn.html#ixzz1MWilN500

Typical politician.
Sounds like a French version of Bill Clinton.
... or a crazed sex poodle, perhaps?
I don’t know.. don’t intel agencies set up “honey pot” traps like this.. interesting that he was a front runner for the french presidency. Or maybe just a typical politico sex hound.
Ms Banon’s mother, Anne Mansouret, said the only reason she did not press charges at the time was because 'she was just starting out in journalism' and was afraid of being 'defined by the story' of being attacked by a senior politician.Yeah, well... that makes her story good background information, but nothing more.
I'm sure the guy is a pig, but I would hate to see ten-year-old attempted rape charges suddenly materialize in court with no prior existence of any kind.
Too bad he wasn’t a liberal, the rape charges seem to enhance their resumes and destroy conservatives. So, if you want to be “sex crazed” then you need to change your party affiliations.
Sounds like me if I was born French, instead.
There is something that is not right about this. For starters there is no accident about what gets into the press. Secondly, this became an overnight scandal. The woman was attacked and the next day this makes into the press. This reminds me of the Giffords shooting when Palin was blamed for it out of nowhere.
The last few sentences of the article implies he was either set up or lured into a sting for ulterior motives. With as much as politicians get away with, this is too easy. Notice also that he was going to be the “socialist” nominee for French president.
Here is the quote:
“ If found guilty of the attack at the Sofitel Hotel, Strauss-Kahn faces up to 15 years in prison, while his political and financial career already appears ruined.”
In other words if he is innocent the damage has been done.
JournOlistas the same the world over.
Yep. AlGore, a former two term VPOTUS, Presidential nominee, and savior of the environment had equally serious and more bizarre allegations leveled against him, and the MSM barely reported that he and Tipper were getting separated.
Actually, he’s a socialist.
Maybe, but I stand by my ‘typical politician’ remark.
You should post a picture of Ms. Banon...
Isn't that racist?
Yes, like how society shunned, judged and shamed Bill Clinton after his rape-grope-raps.
He commanded top dollar at speaking engagements and book deals.
Was sharp to criticize Bush in office.
The attack raps never were put in context.
Violence against women must only be bad if you are a conservative. Others get a pass.
Your attention is directed to post #12.
The guy was a world famous figure, hauled out of first-class off a jet in NYC, alleged trying to flee the country.
That's going to be in the news everytime.
Awaiting the Thai animation of this story...
EDIT: Awaiting the Taiwan animation of this story...
Just like NOW and their ilk protected Clinton because he had the “correct stance on women’s issues”! Stupid witches who are willing to allow some of their number to be raped if it means abortions remain legal.
Yes, very much a Socialist. In fact the posters at CNN are busy defending him as having been set up for just that reason. He’s a good Socialist and man of the workers who just happened to be staying in a $3,000 a night hotel room and flying first class.
He and Ted Baxter were separated at birth.
Will he be out on bail so that he can leave the country?
. . .and no doubt charging all expenses to the IMF even tho' he was on personal business.
If I were a chimp I’d be offended.
Tristane = not guilty:
Yeah, he was known as a player.
They called him “The Seducer”.
Evidently getting away with it for so long made him bold...
Remember Juanita Bodderick?
The striking thing about Bodderick’s story is that detailed fact checking shows absolutely no inconsistencies, as to time and place. Clinton was involved in a political campaign at the time and his campaign diaries and news coverage are available to researchers. There is a hole in his whereabouts precisely at the time she says she was raped and he was in the general vicinity in the times prior to and afterwards. Clinton is one sick puppy. I’ve had the hots for certain women when I was young and frisky, but never, ever dreamed of trying to corner them and rape them. Not even dreamed or fantasized about it. My fantasies are completely of the consensual type.
Ah, those Frenchmen! So suave, so debonair, such eclat! How can we clumsy américains compete with them?
Disgusting, but not surprising, coming from a leftist.
I wonder how much this might help Le Pen and the National Front?
How do we know he was fleeing the country?
This timeline is going too fast. Yhr press is focused on this like an obssession.
There is more to this than meets the eye.
I said "allegedly" - he was certainly leaving the country, maybe fleeing.
I'm sure there's more to the story, there always is. I was just noting that the fact that it was immediately in the news was because he had a high profile, news making arrest at JFK airport. There's no need for a conspiracy as to why the news ran with it.
What is "Yhr press"? There's been a bit of coverage here, but nothing overwhelming. I would imagine its a much bigger story in Europe and particularly France.
According to reports, he was arrested ON THE PLANE, and had left his personal belongings behind.
What would you call that ?
He obviously doesn’t have friends like as Bill Clinton had.
Most of this will depend on the citim’s going to the police, injuries she sustained ( allegedly she fell on the marble floor trying to escape), the rape examination, etc.
If all that is in sync, he is toast.And should be.
Have we heard if the victim is Black? Or Hispanic?
Calling Al Sharpton, “Please pick up the white courtesy phone.”
