paris is buzzing about dominique straus kahn, who they refer to as DSK. in case you don’t know, the current head of the “international monetary fund” or “ IMF” and also the predicted french presidential frontrunner for the socialist party was arrested on sunday for attempted rape of a hotel cleaning lady. imagine the headlines if one of the prime candidates for US president was arrested for the same thing... hard to understand why a guy in such a privileged position would risk so much in such a stupid way. i was in the park with the dogs and doggy parents and heard them talking. as always, some people blame the victim – saying sometimes certain women wear much to short skirts. i also hated hearing that some journalists said “and she wasn’t even pretty”. someone else suggested that the little maid outfit makes some guys go wild.
at first, everyone here thought it must be a conspiracy (new vocab word for me – “complot”. excellent word – looks like it’s made up of the words “committee” and “plot”), but after his history came out, many think he is probably guilty. i do hope that the woman’s life isn’t totally ruined. apparently, the current president, sarkozy warned DSK that he had to watch himself with the americans who really took this sort of thing seriously.
what i loved most was the explanation by one older woman who is a multi-dog mom and obvious doggy person. she said something like: “boy-dogs all want to mount the girl-dogs when they are in heat, but there are some dogs who want to mount ALL the dogs ALL the time. DSK was one of those dogs”.
