Is the Head of the IMF a Sex Criminal?

Strange maybe, but is it important other than for the need to touch all bases

she turned him down.

she also declined the former IMF chief's invitation.

No reason given. It's just an assumption that he got those reactions because he was a dirty old man who they would have no truck with

It is lonely in a hotel room however posh and really the man compliments women by these two invitations by saying that female company interests him from whatever station in life.

Why he should think that though I can't imagine.

There ya go. Some wimmen just don't know how to take a compliment.

There are a great many feminists who will tell you that you should not compliment the ladies on their looks at all, that this is "lookism" and if it comes from a man also "sexism".

I remember as a young child walking with my mother in New York City when some guy gave her a very loud wolf whistle out of the blue.

She was delighted ..............

Oh to be young once more and get to chase and have affairs with waitresses and barmaids.

Maybe--here's one--he was going to resign from the IMF because he could no longer fathom the Greeks, the Portugese and the Irish and so he thought he would fight a heroic battle on behalf of Frenchmen to warn them what would happen to them if ever they relaxed their restrictions on American programmes on their TV. Which are, of course, in the hands of feminists.

Show them what copping a feel could end up causing in France.

Did I get a knighthood? Did I ****.

Dear Colleagues:

You have seen my letter of resignation as Managing Director of the Fund—one of the most difficult communications of my life. I wanted very much to be in touch with you, personally and directly, to express my profound sadness and frustration in having to leave under these circumstances. I am doing so because I believe it to be in the best interests of the institution that I care about so much, and of you, the staff, whom I deeply appreciate and admire.

The past days have been extremely painful for me and my family, as I know they have been for everyone at the Fund. I am very sorry that this has been the case. I deny in the strongest possible terms the allegations which I now face; I am confident that the truth will come out and I will be exonerated. In the meantime, I cannot accept that the Fund—and you dear colleagues—should in any way have to share my own personal nightmare. So, I had to go.

When I first met you, (I am picturing us in the atrium), I confess that all I really had was a sense of commitment to the Fund’s founding vision of global economic cooperation. This last phrase has always been more than just a slogan for me: I come from a place painfully aware of the slide from economic damage to political strife to war, destruction, and human misery. But I had only the vaguest ideas about how to go about the task. I thank you, all of you, for having sharpened that vision not just for me, but for the world, and for having given it content.

The Fund’s response to the crisis has been much praised. I don’t want to leave without remembering with you some key milestones. The early case for fiscal stimulus. The support, analytical and otherwise, for the crisis response by the G20 and the world. The introduction of sensible flexibility in lending tools (FCLs, etc). The large deployment of resources—both securing them, and using them, including in Western Europe for the first time in decades. New tools for identifying crisis risks, like the early warning exercise. Stronger engagement with the emerging market countries, especially in Asia, and with the low-income countries, especially in Africa, including with the new zero interest rate loans. The downsizing of the Fund—difficult as it was—and putting the Fund’s finances on a sound basis with the new income model. And the historic governance reforms, which have strengthened the sense of ownership across the entire global membership.

I also don’t want to leave without telling you—as perhaps I did not do sufficiently before—that I understand and deeply value all the other work that you did. Milestones are easy to remember and quote, but the daily work of the institution is much, much broader. And in your daily work, you invariably delivered: you provided invaluable expertise, be it in high-profile or low-key ways, in countless bilateral surveillance and technical assistance missions; you pushed past bureaucratic caution to confront the world’s policymakers with difficult facts; you quietly accomplished all the back office tasks without which nothing can be done; you embraced innovation in every area; and your dedication was without peer.

I do not doubt, not for one instant, that what the institution has achieved in the last three and a half years is the fruit of your thinking, your work, your conviction. You should be proud of what you have achieved. A tremendous amount of work remains to be done, at a very crucial time; you will deliver time after time, and I will cheer for you when you do so.

I feel privileged and humbled to have worked with such an extraordinary group of people. I will cherish our time together.

And so my dear colleagues, I say thank you, good luck for the future, and au revoir.

Dominique

Sheesh!!!

Sometime after Sofitel's check-out time, 12 pm on Saturday, a room service employee entered Dominique Strauss-Kahn's room and "cleared" it. Strauss-Kahn was supposed to have checked out already.
The maid knocked three times, said "housekeeping," and rang the bell. There was no answer, so she entered the room. A naked Strauss-Kahn confronted her, and while she put her hands over her eyes so she wouldn't see him naked, he ran to her, began grabbing her breasts, and pulled her down the hallway towards the bedroom, where he tried to pin her down on his bed.
She tried to get away by telling Strauss-Kahn, "my manager is in the hallway" and “Please stop. I need my job, I can’t lose my job, don’t do this. I will lose my job. Please, please stop! Please stop!”
But he responded, “No, baby. Don’t worry, you’re not going to lose your job. Please, baby, don’t worry... Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know who I am?”
Then, she pushed him away and ran toward the door.
But she slipped on a newspaper bag on the floor and fell to her knees. Strauss-Kahn came up behind her and forced her to perform oral sex.
Ultimately, she pushed him into sharp edge of an armoire in the hotel suite and escaped. FOX News says Strauss-Kahn has a gash on his back from the armoire.
Then she ran into the service corridor and co-workers found her on the floor, where they tried to console her. She was shaking profusely and unable to even hold a cup of water, says FOX News.

I dont know what to make of this version, as it does not flow right unless they did some flirting earlier, maybe the day before, or on a different visit. I cant wait to hear his side of the story.

None of the versions flow right to put it mildly.
