What's a feminist circle?
The 12 people that make up NOW?
“Facts that could be qualified as sexual assault have been acknowledged,”
He did it, and he is getting off Scot-free.
Well, not really. DSK was the pre-ordained, annointed candidate for the Socialist Party (PS) nomination for President of France, to run against Sarkozy in 2012.
His scandal in NY with a chambermaid, and the exposure of his life long history of abuse and sexual harassment of women subordinates led to his elimination.
The PS will now vote on Sunday. They are now faced with a choice between two elite trained functionaries: Martine Aubry, the now PS chairman, daughter of EU founder, Jacques Delors, and François Hollande, the former chair of the PS, and father of Ségolène Royal’s four illegitimate children.
Aubry is courting the far left, Hollande, the center moderate wing. Hollande much smarter, much nicer, and far more capable.
FWIW, Ségolène endorsed her former “companion”, as did the far leftist Arnaud Montebourg, who came in third in the first round.
IMO Hollande will win the primary. He has a far better chance of beating
Sarko in 2012.
Stay tuned for Primary Election Results on Sunday. I’ll keep you posted!
