Dominique Strauss-Kahn, D.S.K., a source of national embarrassment if sexual attack charges true.

un pote aux Etats-Unis vient de me rapporter que #DSK aurait été arrêté par la police dans un hôtel à NYC il y a une heure. (“A buddy in the U.S. just told me that DSK was said to have been arrested by the police at a hotel in NYC an hour ago.”)

French newspaper Liberation:
“Shock. Political Bomb. Thunderclap.” “Real or false, this affair concerning the director of the IMF puts him out of the Presidential race even before the Socialist Party’s primaries and above all it also discredits France on the international stage,”

Gilles Savary, a member of the European Parliament:
“Everyone knows that Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a libertine, and that he is distinguished from others by the fact that he doesn’t try and hide it,” he wrote. “In puritanical American, infiltrated by rigorous Protestantism, financial misdeeds are far more tolerated than pleasures of the flesh.”
