So What's Your Gut Tell You About This French Dude?

[sunairco]

OMK, pretty much nails it. Based on what we're being fed by the media, the bullshit detector is going off unless the guy is truly a moral-less idiot with an entitlement complex that's been doing this so long, he feels he can do it anywhere without impunity. Considering how long he's lived in the states and understands the difference in cultures, there is no reason to judge him by a French standard as he well would understand the consequences of his actions here. Everything just seems too pat.

While what the media and law enforcement are reporting and leaking, the maid appears to be the victim in an airtight sexual assult case. Since Sofitel is French owned, I wonder if the maid's French fluency and immigrant background are typical. Sometimes situations seem just too perfect. It could have been independently engineered to put a guy that's predisposed to this kind of behavior in close contact with a french speaking immigrant that he felt he could have his way and buy or threaten off. She's being presented as a humble muslim version of a saintly holy mary which she very well may be. It doesn't take a genius in intelligence to realize what would happen if you put mike tyson in a room with a shy and innocent virgin and let the security cameras, keycard readers, and forensics document the result for an ironclad evidnence trail that has no fingerprints of a manufactured hit operation if you wanted to ice tyson for good already knowing his predispostions.

We still don't know the whole story yet. Like the Duke Lacross case, the media presented the rich and entitled frat boys taking advantage of a poor black women with seeming impunity too. They were tried and convicted in the media and by women's advocacy groups to a shadow of a doubt like we're seeing right now. Wealth was pitted against have nots playing the class warfare card. We're seeing that here as well.

He may be guilty as sin and she may be innocent as a saint. While I don't agree that he should have special treatment beyond what anyone else would be entitled to, he didn't deserve to paraded around with the presupposition of guilt as he has been. No matter what, his career is toast and he's forever tarnished no matter where this leads. While I do feel for this woman, especially the way she's been villianized by the French media if the facts as presented are indeed true, I can't help but feel for DSK's total destruction at the height of his career by a mere word of a woman's initial accusation until being proven guilty beyond a doubt. Any man's reputation and freedom in this country can be destroyed and taken away on the simple accusation of a woman predicated on a nonsensical feminist concept that women never lie. They often do and they are rarely held accountable in this bizzare double standard.

I'll reserve judgement when we hear the complete facts. He's innocent until proven guilty and deserves some dignity like any other average schmuck that may have found himself in the same situation. She deserves her day in court and some respect by the French and foreign media.

Um, there's also FORENSIC evidence in this case that inclines NYPD to believe they have lock solid case against this guy. Apparently he cums like a geyser and splattered everything, or something like that.

It could be a conspiracy, but why can't a rich guy be a scumbag like one of the littles??

People are so quick to assume wealth/affluence equals 'common sense' or 'high moral character'.

BTW, if I put a crack rock and a pipe on your hotel room pillow and you decide to PARTY, whose fault is that??

My mom used to work with juvenile delinquents when I was a kid, and one of the most difficult intellectual connections she tried to make with some of these youths was that you're not entitled to steal someone's radio just because some idiot forgot to lock their car door.

Most of these kids would reply to her error in logic, " well, if he didn't want his radio stolen, why didn't he lock his door?"

Round and round like that for months.

I don't care what the circumstances were, unless this woman propositioned him, Kahn is the one in the wrong, even if some of the events were 'orchestrated' against him.

Something smells wrong about this.

Why are there two threads on this?

[robertlouis]

I know that the Americans don't always see eye to eye with the French, but believe me, whether he's guilty or not of these accusations, in terms of his political stance and the work he's done to clean up and streamline the IMF since he took office - all their contributions to the global financial collapse happened before he joined - this is one of the good guys, and both the IMF and the world financial system will be worse off without him.

And fucking Sarkozy will almost certainly get another term in France.
