DSK Laughing All The Way To The (World) Bank

The big new today - Dominique Strauss Kahn, the Socialist head of the International Monetary Fund
was pulled off a Paris bound  Air France flight and charged by the New York police for sexual assault.

From the NY Daily News
Strauss-Kahn, 62, allegedly crept up behind a maid after she entered his room and forced her to perform oral sex on him, sources said.

The woman broke free and ran out of the room. Strauss-Kahn quickly headed for the airport, sources said.
Charges against Strauss-Kahn, who is married to well-known French TV journalist Anne Sinclair, were pending Saturday night, sources said.
Hours before Strauss-Kahn was pulled from the flight, a close Socialist Party ally claimed he was the target of a smear campaign by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
"There is now a totally structured and orchestrated campaign, which has already been announced by Mr. Sarkozy and his closest allies, to attack the character of Strauss-Kahn," Socialist politician Jean-Marie Le Guen told Europe 1 radio.
This is not the first time Strauss-Kahn has been embroiled in a sex scandal.
Two years ago, the former French finance minister was accused of having a fling with a former underling at the Davos international forum.

And from the NY Post
The trouble began at around 1 p.m. yesterday when a 32-year-old housekeeper entered Strauss-Kahn's $3,000-a-night suite at the luxury Sofitel on West 44th Street -- apparently unaware he was still inside.

The married Strauss-Kahn was in the bathroom, and emerged naked, chased her down a hallway and pulled her into a bedroom, where "he jumps her," a source said.
"She pulled away from him and he dragged her down a hallway into the bathroom where he engaged in a criminal sexual act, according to her account to detectives," Browne said. "He tried to lock her into the hotel room."
Soon afterward, Strauss-Kahn got dressed and headed off to JFK for a flight to Paris.

When he was approached on the plane by Port Authority cops, he said, "What is this about?" sources said. He was taken off the aircraft without handcuffs.
Two law-enforcement sources said Strauss-Kahn was trying to flee authorities. Police said he left his cellphone and other personal items in the room.
"It looked like he got out of there in a hurry," Browne said.

The shocking arrest came hours after a Socialist Party ally of Strauss-Kahn accused Sarkozy of kicking off a smear campaign against his longtime rival -- focusing on his lavish lifestyle, including his preference for suits from the same tailor favored by President Obama.

"There is now a totally structured and orchestrated campaign, which has already been announced by Mr. Sarkozy and his closest allies, to attack the character of Strauss-Kahn," Socialist politician Jean-Marie Le Guen told Europe 1 radio.

Way back in 2008 I blogged about DSK and his misdeeds
In the IMF - If You Kahn - You Will
DSK Kahn't Get Enough
and
Kahn't Stop The Love


So...was is sexual assault at the Sofitel Hotel in New York or a set up by Sarkozy?
I don't know
But a pattern of misbehavior is....well...a pattern of behavior
and men who consistently misbehave and get away with it, will continue to misbehave


Note:  DSK does not have diplomatic immunity

There are 300 plus comments on the subject on the Wall Street Journal online.

I like this one
The IMG usually just screws countries...broadening their service?
and this one
It's too bad that this guy didn't call Elliot Spitzer and get the name of the call service he used. Or maybe the guy was just such a cheapskate, he didn't want to pay for it. He's in a heap of deep trouble now. But, more than likely, he's got the attitude, what's the big deal? I guess he was absent that day when they held the "Sexual harrassment training."

He's going to need an awfully good lawyer. Maybe he can blame this on the fact that he was molested as a child, or they he's was taking Viagara and it went to his head. Or, he could say that the devil made him do it.
Or maybe, somehow he could blame the Democrats or the Republicans.
The Wall Street Journal ought to file this under the heading of "Men who couldn't keep their zippers zipped."
What a wonderful idea. Famous people caught in a compromising position. What will they think of next.
