@firefly,
I think ff has been driven batty by this thread. She is an impossible woman to have any sort of reasonable discussion with. I hope she isn't typical of American women. She's no hypocrite--she actually believes the **** she is putting on here.
She can't get it into her head that DSK is guilty of nothing. And that Vance has humiliated American justice in the eyes of the world by reducing it to a prurient exercise in mass hysteria obviously caused by a tightly bottled up sexual frustration and, as such, a vehicle for much mirth.
The charges were dismissed out of the fear of them being laughed out of court. All those tough, hard-bitten DAs of the movies were obviously a big act. They are pussy cats when it comes down to reality.
