His name is Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and he was arrested in New York City for sexual assault, attempted rape, and unlawful imprisonment of a 32 year old female housekeeping employee of the Sofitel Hotel, where Straus-Kahn was lodging at the time.
According to the official NYPD police report he emerged naked from his room and chased the female employee down the hallway. According to his attorneys, he will plead Not Guilty.
Of course, his supporters are already claiming that he was set up. After all, prior to this he was most often touted as the most likely potential candidate to defeat Nicolas Sarkozy in the latter's re-election bid as President of France. He is also listed in The Jerusalem Post as one of the world's 50 most influential Jews, coming in at number 6, ahead even of Michael Bloomberg and David Axelrod. Something tells me his ranking in that regard is going to drop like a rock, probably faster and lower than his standing in the French presidential polls.
Here is his Wikipedia entry and, well well well, what do you know, he is a member of the Socialist Party of France.
As appalling as this story is, what I find most disturbing is the idea of a socialist in charge of the International Monetary Fund. To my way of thinking, that would be tantamount to making Al Capone the CEO of Brinks Security.
Yeah, this guy as President of France. There's not just one joke there, that's a whole Book of French Jokes, Volumes 1, 2, & 3.
