Naughty old Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the IMF and leading opponent to Sarkozy in the 2012 French Presidential elections seems to have finally got his cumuppance after being arrested and removed from an Air France flight in New York after allegations were made that he forced a chamber maid to fellate him.

From ZeroHedge :

According to the NYPost, IMF head Dominique Strauss-Khan was just arrested on board the first class cabin (thank you taxpayers) of a New York-Paris flight as it was about to take off.

And here is where the story gets surreal: “Around noon today, a maid at the hotel knocked on the door of Strauss-Khan’s room. After letting the maid in, Strauss-Khan allegedly threw the maid on the room’s bed and forced her to perform oral sex on him, said police sources.

Strauss-Khan let the maid leave — and soon afterward, headed off to Kennedy Airport for his flight to Paris.”

IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was taken into custody on Saturday at JFK airport in New York and was being questioned in regard to a sexual assault, a New York police spokesman told Reuters.

Spokesman Paul Browne said the woman who filed the complaint against Strauss-Kahn, 62, was a 32-year-old chambermaid who fled the room after the incident.

Amazing how many high flying politicians can’t keep their trousers on – you have to wonder if the kind of people attracted to the positions of power and influence are naturally like this or whether the years of using that same power and influence warp their views as to what is acceptable behaviour.

Apart from Sarkozy breathing a sigh of relief, I am sure there will be some private amusement from the various countries around the world who have been on the receiving end of a rodgering from the IMF in the past.
