PH: If this guy was running the IMF as well as he was his personal life, we are all better off for his departure.

It seems that he fit in well with a “culture of licentiousness” that prevailed at the IMF for quite some time. Supposedly that is all in the past. But someone forgot to tell DSK. Or they did, but he wasn’t listening?

Anyway, the internal policy in place since May of this year at the IMF does not tolerate extra-marital affairs between colleagues. And the reason why DSK was dropped so abruptly by IMF might indicate their disgust with his behaviour.

See here.

From the French news journal Le Point comes this story. It appears that DSK’s last words just before his arrest on the Air France flight to a stewardess was, “What a nice ass!” (See French news report here.)

Is this the sort of behaviour that is conscionable in a public figure? Methinks not.

Dominique is living proof of what the powers-that-be accept as a given, a ‘god’s’ truth…that the super-rich are truly exceptional people. Gingrich is another. Our society abounds with these examples.

You don’t see many poor folks staying in $3,000 a night hotel rooms, and raping the maids. Or running up half-a-million dollar overdue jewelry bills at Tiffany’s, and then running around shooting-off their loud mouths, making fools of themselves preaching about frugality

Don’t you worry about DSK. As soon as he beats this rap, or skips his bail and gets back to Europe, with his record, he’ll be a cinch to beat out Berlusconi and take over as Prime Minister of Italy.

If this guy was running the IMF as well as he was his personal life, we are all better off for his departure.

$3000/per night hotel rooms on someone elses dime really offends me.  Raping maids is an offense against us all.

I wonder why he is still alive.
