Back in the day, after school, hundreds of thousands of boys and girls were allowed to watch a wildly popular television program that began with these words, “What time is is, kids?” to which the studio audience of boys and girls would shout, “It’s Howdy Doody time.”
The Telegraph‘s Henry Samuels reports from Paris this afternoon after school that our favorite “rutting chimpanzee” has been at it again! Hard to believe, huh? Who would have thought that DSK could sink even deeper into the slime his mere monogram evokes in the minds of readers everywhere? And yet, here’s the latest:
French press reports cited several unnamed sources as claiming prostitutes travelled to New York from France late last year and in May for sex sessions with the former International Monetary Fund chief…
“According to certain sources, prostitutes allegedly flew to New York ‘late 2010′, and even ‘May 2011′,” according to France Soir newspaper.
“Police are now looking at airline bookings made at the time to verify these elements,” it wrote.
Well, the inspecteurs shouldn’t take long to “verify these elements.”
Le Journal du Dimanche, a Sunday newspaper, said that prostitutes working for the network had several times travelled to New York, and that inspectors believed Mr Strauss-Kahn may have used their services when he was based in the US.
He denied all allegations on Sunday, saying that he wished to be questioned as “quickly as possible to end the malevolent insinuations”.
“Malevolent insinuations”? Who does he think he is? The Dalai Lama? Some holy man come down from the mountaintop where he’s spent the past fifty years chanting his mantra to the silent vapors of the Himalayas?
And then, just when you thought it was a fairly straightforward case of Struss-Kahn in an orgy of French prostitutes in New York and Washington, the plot thickens. How? There’s a second Dominique involved here. And, like DSK, he’s also 62. I know. What are the chances?
Investigators claim that the prostitutes were recruited by Dominique Alderweireld, 62, a nightclub owner who is under arrest in Belgium. He denies the allegation.
One of those cited was Lille urban security police chief Jean-Christophe Lagarde, said to be close to Mr Strauss-Kahn, who consulted him about security matters when he still hoped to run for French president.
Detectives, it is claimed, suspect Mr Lagarde of organising orgies, but on Tuesday, he said he had committed “no crime” in a statement.
David Roquet, a local businessman, was on Tuesday claimed by Le Figaro to have told detectives he had met prostitutes with Mr Strauss-Kahn at a luxury hotel in Paris in late 2010. Mr Roquet was arrested last week and placed under investigation for “aggravated pimping”. Mr Roquet denies the charge of providing women for sex.
One prostitute has also allegedly told police that she was paid £500 to attend an orgy with a “prominent political figure” in Paris in the spring of 2010.
France Soir claimed the politician in question was Mr Strauss-Kahn.
Tiens! You don’t say. Who’d have thunk?
Mr Roquet is quoted as claiming he travelled twice to the US with Mr Lagarde and a lawyer also under investigation – once to Washington and once to New York – “on the invitation” of Mr Strauss-Kahn.
The latest scandal has erupted less than a week after Mr Strauss-Kahn learned he will not face charges for sexually assaulting writer Tristane Banon in Paris 2003 because the time limit for prosecution has expired.
Five senior officers were questioned last week over the case. They are accused of providing women for sex, which carries a sentence of up to ten years.
They deny this, but told investigators that they were clients of the prostitutes.
As Scarlett O’Hara liked to say, “Tomorrow is another day.” Will the sun set on the shimmering girders of the Eiffel Tower on Wednesday without yet another twist and turn in the saga of the sexual predations of Dominique Strauss-Kahn? I wouldn’t bet on it.
Well well well
Instead of printing tabloids’ stupidities, may be you should read real story!!!!

Frenchie, why don’t you translate for the rest of us? I clicked on your link and it wasn’t any too helpful. Merci beaucoup.
Frenchie:
1. The Telegraph is no tabloid and its report contains no “stupidities” (betises) except to report those committed by M. Strauss-Kahn, himself.
2. The website you cite is simply the identical story to that reported by The Telegraph, except that it is in French.
Pas grande chose.
People this fanatically obsessed with sex are mentally ill. And don’t give me “it’s an evolutionary imperative.” I don’t kill people who try to take food out of my hand. We’re not cavemen desperately trying to preserve a species. Reason is supposed to overpower any urges… if you employ reason, that is.
What, we don’t have hookers in New York or D.C.? I beg to differ sir. Any Congressman (and most Dem governors)can hook ya up without spending a bunch of airfare. Unless you don’t like our girls.
I’m confused here. Why is Tristane’s case thrown out? I thought rape cases had no expiration. And under whose laws is DSK being hounded–US or French? I did not think that prostitution was a crime in France (where it is considered a fun necessity). And is it illegal in the States? If so, Obama should legalize it and TAX it. This is a possible cure for his mad spending orgies.
Pundit, if you read the post at http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/10/14/loathsome-lothario-strauss-kahn-dodges-another-bullet/ and my response to one of the comments, you’ll find yourself right up-to-date on the comings and goings of the man who would be king of France. Unfortunately, there is a statute of limitations for rape (although not for murder) in most countries, including France and the U.S.
As for legalized prostitution, the only American state in which it is legal is Nevada, and while it is legal in France, the call girls involved in Strauss-Kahn’s latest brush with the law were smuggled across the French border from Belgium. The plot thickens by the day and without Poirot, the great Belgian detective, I wonder if we’ll ever get to the bottom of all this.
I, for one, will try.
Les personnes qui payent des hommes, des femmes voir même des enfants à des fins sexuels, ne sont-ils pas aussi monstrueux qui ces prédateurs sexuels ? Mais voilà, certains s’en sortent mieux que d’autres parce qu’ils ont le pouvoir.
La prostitution est à mon sens du viol légalisé ! 80 % de ces prostitué(e)s n’ont pas choisi de se vendre comme on achèterait un steak chez le boucher. Il faut comprendre que des réseaux sont en lien très étroit avec le milieux de la pègre, de la criminalité et de trafiques en tout genre. Ces pauvres filles de la rue sont vendues et revendues à des marchants d’esclaves sexuels. Elles sont maltraitées et violées jusqu’à ce qu’elles obéissent et n’aient plus d’estime d’elles-mêmes. se servir de ses relations et de son pouvoir pour s’offrir du sexe dans un hôtel, même loin de chez soi, c’est lamentable ! Nos chers médias Français ont fait en sorte de minimiser voir d’oublier qu’un certain DSK faisait régulièrement parlé de lui aux USA avec ses infidélités ! Etant française, je suis choquée par la manière dont les Français ont été manipulés par leurs propres médias. D’ailleurs, je ne fais plus confiance aux médias de mon pays qu’est La France. Comme je pense qu’il était le premier pays des droits de l’homme et de la révolution Française ! Pauvre France, où vas-tu ?
The same text as above translated by Google, hoping for a good translation
People who pay men, women or even children for sex, they are not as monstrous sexual predators? But now, some are doing better than others because they have the power.
Prostitution is legalized rape of my mind! 80% of the prostitute (s) did not choose to sell as they buy a steak at the butcher. Understand that networks are very close to the circles of the underworld, crime and trafficking of all kinds. These poor street girls are sold and resold for merchants sex slaves. They are abused and raped until they obey and have more respect for themselves. use his relationships and his power to offer sex in a hotel, even away from home, it’s pathetic! Our dear French media made sure to minimize view to forget that a DSK was regularly mentioned him in the United States with his infidelities! Being French, I am shocked by how the French have been manipulated by their own media. In fact, I no longer trust the media in my country is France. As I think it was the first country of human rights and the French Revolution! Poor France, where are you?
