That was my first thought. Or if she just clamped her mouth shut nothing is going to get in there in the first place.

Something doesn't seem right here...

And of course I had to google it...
There really, really, really needs to be a separation in legal terms between oral sex with another human being and, say, a goat. Really. I'm totally serial.

I think chomping would work better. If she kept her mouth closed, he might start beating her. If she chomps it off, she can run out of the room while the guy tries to prevent bleeding to death.

The response of some French politicians is extremely disgusting. They want the man to be given preferential treatment instead of being treated like anyone else.

I dunno... The ugly side of me is starting to think that it may have started out consentual and then the hand went around to the back of the head...

Now that our resident pron afficinados have weighed in, I'll offer my opinion. These allegations do seem possibly fishy. But I still wouldn't be surprised if it was true. While a rich guy doesn't need to force someone to have sex with him, people like that often have enormous egos and think they are untouchable and can therefore do anything they want. I would also point out that most people who commit rape can probably afford to pay for sex. If it was just about getting laid, they probably wouldn't be committing rape.

Probably a set up, but we'll see how it plays out.

So, the French government hired an agent, planted her as a maid in a hotel. She worked as a maid until he managed to check into that specific hotel. Then she waited until he was in the hotel during the same time she was on duty. She then somehow confirmed he was in the room and alone and she went in there to give him BJ so she could later claim it was forcible?

Weren't you one of those laughing at 'birthers'?

If so, why?

Good point. It would have to have been someone who knew his precise travel itinerary, making it dramatically less likely that it was a setup. The only other possiblity is that he was known to stay in that hotel every time he was in New York.

Its seems to me we are speculating way beyond available facts, as for me, I will reserve any judgment until we have some verifiable facts.

Some DNA evidence, hair, Fiber, and usual crime scene evidence would be initially helpful to make even make a prima facia case. So far all we seem to have is he says she says.

We cannot say if he is guilty or not. Maybe it really was a political setup with a hired girl bribed to take part in a plot to politically take him out. That crap just doesn't happen in the movies. DNA will tell the truth.

What we DO know though is the bastard was staying in a 3k a night hotel room and the IMF is supposed take loaned money and help maintain and balance the worlds economy. The USA pays a *hit load of money into it every year.

The IMF has among its missions is to loan money to poor countries from the rich ones.

This is just another proof that the IMF, UN, etc. etc are corrupt institutions that need to be dissolved or at the least the USA needs to stop giving it money!:mad:

Why not? Birthers think that Obama was not born in the US despite proof that he was.
This man is presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. There are plenty of people with the motives and the resources to set this guy up.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn feared that one of his political opponents would pay a woman more than $1million to say he raped her, it emerged today.
Because he was the clear favourite to beat Mr Sarkozy, Strauss-Kahn feared he would be subjected to a smear campaign by the President and his Interior Minister, Glaude Gueant.

Such theories were bolstered by the fact that the first person to break the news of Strauss-Kahn’s arrest was an activist in Mr Sarkozy’s UMP party – who apparently knew about the scandal before it happened.
Jonathan Pinet, a politics student, tweeted the news just before the New York Police Department made it public, although he said that he simply had a ‘friend’ working at the Sofitel where the attack was said to have happened.
The first person to re-tweet Mr Pinet was Arnaud Dassier, a spin doctor who had previously publicised details of multi-millionaire Strauss-Kahn’s luxurious lifestyle in a bid to dent his left wing credentials.

Yeah, they all just happened to know about this before the police announced it.

Maybe she did. The report said there was supposedly blood at the scene. It's not necessarily hers.

Whats the big deal? He just mistook the poor girl for some indebted nation, perhaps her name was Greece or Portugal or something ;)

The best headline to come out of this story:

No bailout for IMF chief

The head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was denied bail yesterday because of concerns he would flee the United States to avoid a trial for allegedly forcing a maid into performing sexual acts at his luxury hotel suite.

Whatever happens, I'm sure this French douche will get a fairer trial than the one Amanda Knox got in Italy.

Sounds like something someone in power would do.
Thinks he's above law and us lowly citizens.

The IMF needs to be dismantled immediately.

Why should we believe the Maid? We dont even know what kind of person she is. It was not too long ago we had a case like this with the Lacrosse team. That one did not turn out very well for the woman either. How do you know she was not committing a crime of theft in his room?

Silly me, I keep rechecking this thread to see if any hard evidence has surfaced yet.

And as of yet, we have nothing but 100% pure speculation.

Well, this doesn't appear to be the 'he said, she said' I expected.

I read he's now claiming he wasn't in the room at that time. Instead he claims he was having lunch with his daughter (or somebody).

At a place with $3,000 a night rooms I certainly expect surveillance/security cameras aplenty. Either he was there or he wasn't. Someone should easily be revealed a liar, at least as regards who was where when.
