Am I the only one who has a problem with the TONE of this piece?

I am by no means an apologist for this man, but whatever one may feel about DSK’s behaviour he is, as Etienne Calleja points out, still sub judice.

It is precisely this kind of sanctimoniousness that has driven most of the great blunders of US foreign policy and, for that matter, the subjugation of women.

I agree with you 100%. Berlusconi and all men who act in the same way he does are truly ridiculous.

But even if DSK said that one of his weak points he loved women, (and that is definetely stupid of him to say – if he truly wanted to substitute Sarkoczy), I am starting to have my doubts on this case.

( “Fejn hemm il-flus, la tghannaq u lanqas tbus”. DSK, supposedly, took it a step further than that – but that is beside my point)

According to France24 direct , DSK was granted bail – 1 million dollar CASH. plus a 5 million dollar bond !! They said that he does not have that kind of money. – his salary is in the region of 300,000 euros per year inclusive of tax.

His wife, Anne Sinclair, is paying !

Puzzled. Why would a wife help him out of all this?

P.S. Contrary to above article, France24 direct are NOW saying it is not one, but SIX million dollar CASH paid by the wife.

[Daphne – Why would a wife help out? Because she wants to believe it’s not true.]

In reply to kev.

Neither right or left, Kevvy, just rational. Yes, the 60’s were ‘interesting times’. Free thought at university especially. No ‘conspiracies’ back then, just right or wrong.(Also enjoyed the pot)

BTW, did my time in the service, so know my left from my right.

Oh, another BTW, Kevvy. All day I thought of you. I was at the zoo.

America had a big problem with President Kennedy, a womaniser and risk-taker with Mafia connected women.

It is true that a man is innocent till proven guilty but assuming that he IS found guilty of rape then his problem is not that he “loves”women but that he hates them.
