I am sorry but America has decided that we would rather pander to the nerotic fears of women than work to maintain a healthy middle class, we have our priorities straight you know....

Could someone please please explain to me why the private sex life of a congressman over the internet with adult women is a matter of public concern and call for a congressional investigation and calls that he resign?

I know I must be missing something here as surely we had not reach the point that cheating on your wife by having cybersex call for the removing from public office of the "sinner"?

The lawyer for the New York hotel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her has appealed on French television for other women with claims against the former IMF chief to come forward.

"If there are any other women in France or in Africa who may have been abused by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, please, call me, contact me, we want to help you, we want to talk to you," lawyer Kenneth Thompson, who is representing the 32-year-old chambermaid, told i TV.

He made a similar appeal on Tuesday evening on France 2 television.

Strauss-Kahn, who was formerly seen as a frontrunner to win France's 2012 presidential election, pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges he sexually assaulted the chambermaid at a hotel in Manhattan where he was staying in May.

His lawyers say they have evidence to prove that sexual contact with the maid was consensual, a claim Thompson has dismissed as "preposterous".

A lawyer for Frenchwoman Tristane Banon, a writer, said after Strauss-Kahn's arrest on May 14 that his client was considering filing a complaint against the Frenchman, a former finance minister, over an alleged sexual assault in 2002.

Banon's lawyer has said she does not wish to testify in the United States in a case other than her own.

This is an interesting pre-emptive strike by the maid's lawyer--a warning that he will be digging up the dirt against DSK, and, presumably, using whatever he finds against him. This attorney may have much more latitude in speaking to the media than the prosecutor does, and he may use fairly aggressive tactics both in defending his client and going after DSK because, if a civil suit is launched in the future, he would be the one handling it.

If they do find instances of inappropriate behavior by DSK with other hotel maids, or women in similar types of positions, that really would be particularly damaging to him if those reports are credible. Even DSK's lawyers must be holding their breath about whether such incidents have occurred and whether these women might come forward--the investigatory firm hired by the defense is also looking into DSK's past so they can be prepared for whatever the D.A. or the maid's attorney might turn up.

All the female nuts in France or Africa who would like 15 minutes of frame please come forward to help our position in the settlements talks with DSK lawyers.

Now the only strange thing is why the hell did he limit this call to just two areas of the world?

Perhaps there are a woman or two in Antarctica living in a research base that would like to get in on this game.

Off hand I do not think at the moment that there is any women crew members on the international space station but perhaps one of the guys would like to claims that DSK is by and had assaulted him.

Just look at that bareassed lie. It's mooning, which in England is showing your backside in public like through a coach window passing a bus queue of typists or a demonstration by chamber-maids, cleaning women and associated **** shifters. With the driver honking his horn.

Mr Thompson had not the slightest interest in any such women, if they do exist, before his sensitive nostrils picked up the scent of dollars, cheques, dubloons, shekels and other devices with which to bribe the women in his life to behave as though sex is consensual. Men having discovered long ago that it is the only way to get women to behave in that manner after the 20 or 30th performance; if I may exaggerate so as not to exclude David Beckham. How otherwise could it be when one sees, often, veteran happily married ladies dressed in a manner designed to get the snorting relex of normal males thrapping about like a broken sail on a windmill in a hurricane 5.

If Thompson is past the 50 mark then his claim that his sex is consensual is more preposterous than DSK's imo. And that of Ms Julie Burchill, the well known tigress of Grub Street, who said that all she ever felt was a "little local irritation". And on TV with her ex-husband sat opposite in a Newsnight discussion.

You certainly are much more respectful of men than I am ff. But I realise it is only those whose efforts meet with your approval. Feminists know that they cannot get the better of men on their own. They need some men to help them who will, of course, as with all mercenaries, be discarded when of no more use.

"We want to help you". Eh--what?? We want to use you as a spoon to better scoop up the honey more like.

@spendius,
One of the funniest things about all this is that Viagra is not only freely and cheaply avialable to anybody who is daft enough but is also the subject of sniggering little jokes about giving you a stiff neck and suchlike and all the while it is actually an abuse of women on a grand scale. An affront to feminine dignity by the side of which an allegation of a very localised, (see Google maps zoom in from outer space on Sofitel's postcode) blow job is a mere snowflake in a blizzard.

But ideal for taking your mind off the matter.

This is a standard bit of leg work done before filing the civil suit against DSK. It should surprise no one. If there were such people they would have probably already come forward to get the word out so that they could be paid for their story, every day we dont see a front page stroy about some other alleged victim of DSK makes him look more clean.

That would depend how much Mr Thompson wants to help you which depends on your usefulness as a spoon to scoop up the honey.

Quote:
When Democratic front-runner Gary Hart had his vertiginous fall in 1987, after his photo with Miami model Donna Rice on the Monkey Business hit the papers, feminists were irate that this progressive pol was treating women as objects.

They found it especially galling that Hart had married up – winning the daughter of a former president of his college – and then got caught dating down.

The weenie Weiner married up to Hillary Clinton's aide, the glamorous and classy Huma Abedin, and only 11 months later got caught e-dating down with a Vegas blackjack dealer, a porn star and a couple of college students.

This time, no feminist umbrage rang out – and not merely because Weiner is a liberal Democrat. Women have been conditioned by now to assume the worst.

In five decades, we've moved from the pre-feminist mantra about the sexual peccadilloes of married men – boys will be boys – to post-feminist resignation: Men are dogs. And there's no point in feminists wasting their ire at women being objectified because many women these days seem all too ready to play along.

We've traded places with France. There, after DSK, a spirited feminism has blossomed, an urge to stop covering up seamy incidents of droit du seigneur. Now we're the world-weary ones, with little energy to try to reform relations between the sexes: Is there any point, really, in trying to fix men?

She is I think wrong about the state of French Feminism, but she is right that American men increasingly are turning to porn. I am hearing a lot of reports now that young women are being required to act like porn stars in bed if they want to bag the hot guys. I certainly approve of guys refusing to roll over and play dead because the feminists demand it, approve of guys who are in demand driving the best bargain that they can, and keeping what they want front and center.

That's because we've got them everything women could ever have wished for, a cornucopia of luxuries and goodies, and they are still dissatisfied and "men" are the only thing left to take it out on. And this condition is commonest in those women who have the most.

The vast majority of married men are respectful and caring to their wives. But let a small number step out of line and these Dowd types jump all over it. She's pathetic. And she has probably only seen a certain type of porn.

Some intrepid university student could choose a worse subject to write a thesis about than a comparison between Euro porn and American porn.

An MP has been arrested here today on sex assault charges but I don't know anything about it.

interesting? sounds like she's moved to a down-market lawyer who's looking for $ rather than justice or protection of his client

All her lawyers are looking for are $$$$$$$ or none of them would had been involved from the start.

As far as the government lawyers they are looking to made big names for themselves by landing a whale.

DSK lawyers are looking to earn their pay by getting him off.

Not one of they care what in fact happen in that hotel room that day.

Exactly. The polar opposite of mindless. Which was just a gratuitous assertion with no meaning, no sense but a great deal of fatuity.

It is balanced on an allegation just like a mattress balances on a bottle of wine.

I deal with lawyers every day. Some of them are total asswipes, but they are not all that way. Some of them are good and conscientious members of their professional and general community.

From the reading/research I'd done, some of her first lawyers seemed a decent lot. The new one not so much.

When DSK's team started by hiring a PR firm, there was no way for me to think positively of them.

Considering how the state has been trying this case in the media through information leaks I would say that Brafman getting PR muscle from the get go goes to show how brilliant he is.

It funny really hawk that the supposed Islamic repression of women, a complete myth, takes place in a society which has very few of these types of incidents. Odd that don't you think. And when it does happen the perps get flogged.

I said earlier-

Quote:

I ought to qualify that. They think they are. The fact that they require women to poison themselves, undergo surgical procedures, insert plastic objects into their bodies and undergo abortions (48 million since Roe Wade), for their convenience, is so accepted that they are unaware that it is abuse at a far higher level that anything DSK is capable of. And it's on a mass scale. It is taken for granted. They know no different. How do you tell people that what they are doing is far worse than what DSK is alleged to have done? They can't handle it.

The "officers of the court" are using the case to pretend they are looking out for women and that is the very last thing on their minds.

Brafman can be brilliant and an asswipe. The two qualities are not mutually exclusive.

Is there a not so subtle anti-semitism in that remark? I can't think why any other interpretation would make sense.
