he Guardian says that “many politicians privately wonder[ed]” then “how he would cope in a puritan U.S. which frowns upon sexual advances.”

WTF! So treating women with respect is considered "puritan"?

Another woman, this one in France, is preparing to go to the police, says the Guardian, “alleging Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted her in 2002.” The alleged victim’s mother, a prominent socialist politician, reportedly dissuaded her from pursuing the matter previously fearing it would hurt a Strauss-Khan, a Socialist “politician with a bright future.”

Sheesh. What kind of woman sells out her daughter in favor of a politician?

Dr. Zivago....Powerful Socialists are supposed to get away with it...

The puritan US who seemingly adored it’s whoremongering president?

The Guardian says that “many politicians privately wonder[ed]” then “how he would cope in a puritan U.S. which frowns upon sexual advances.”

Ironic that ANYONE would consider the US ‘puritan’ when women walk around half naked pretty much anywhere, college shower rooms are coed, porn is endemic, TV is littered with shows that emphasize sexual relations, and many people feel a first date is a failure if it doesn’t end in bed.

One is prompted to wonder what a society of libertines might be...

IOW: "You'll just have to take one for the team, honey."

Bump! Excellent article. We are fed up.

I cannot believe this young woman’s mother told her to hush up because it would damage some idiot’s career prospects. With a parent like that...

No damn wonder the IMF is broke. $3,000.00 per night for a room? Hells bells. Motel 6 leaves the light on. . . . .

They call us “Puritanical” because we don’t like being raped? Indeed. If that fat 62-year-old had tried it on me, he would have ended up with his jaw broken and some of his favorite body parts chewed right off.

One overlooked detail is that the maid was from Guinea.

Can you imagine the outrage if an American conservative white political big-wig sodomized and raped an immigrant woman from Africa in a NYC hotel room?

A powerful white man treating an African woman as little more than a piece of property for his sexual pleasure?

There would be sociology textbooks written about it, angry liberals would be marching in the streets about it, it would be the subject of countless college seminars, Hollywood would make umpteen movies demonizing the guy, President Ubama would wag his finger and lecture the American people over our backwardness, and we would hear endless b.s. from Oogo Chavez, Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Castro, and all the usual suspects.

Has Whoopi chimed in yet as to whether or not it was “’Rape’ Rape”?
