Au Festival de Kahn, c'est la débandade...

I wonder if Merkel is sad that their meeting got cancelled.

NYP couldn't care less about the Sarkozy. If you don't think people of all classes are arrested for rape in America you're a moron.

And if you think that when the cops found out that the case involved the IMF head there weren't an awful lot of phone calls going to and fro between Washington/Paris/The IMF before a decision was made to arrest him, you're severely delusional.

Since the man they would have had to call at the IMF would have been Dominique himself, I think your scenario is flawed.

[Yes, DSK was the man at the IMF who would have had to have been called to decide if diplomatic immunity applied or not; I find that amusing.]

[Drakken]

Rumors simmer from French-speaking sources that it's not the first time DSK has "his ways" with the room service ladies at the Sofitel hotels, but that the French administrators made pressures to hush the victims up about it.

I await the Law and Order:SVU episode next season.

I bet he is arrested while giving a speech in front of a huge crowd.

Well yes, that's typically when their seasons start, no?

I saw an Ice-T biography at B&N yesterday.

I also like that when casting Ice-T, Dick Wolf thought the character was too square and was like Nah, play the role as if Ice-T were a cop.

So what's actually going on is France is the corrupt banana republic where the elites can rape without any punishment. Sensible.

Huh, no

I think Martim is a little more trustworthy than you are in this.  After all, he lunches with the wealthy and powerful, where they crow about all the proletarian girls they rape.

[Legbiter]

He suffered no ill effect from doing a female underling a few years back, but that was consensual, although hardly what one might call professional.

Outright violent rape is too much, even for the French.
