I guess money can't buy everything. Maybe if he promises to become a vegan they will send him back to France, after a slight delay, of course.

God does not distinguish between the "Public" life and the "Private" life.

Personally I'd rather have seen him thrown in jail for his economics, or better yet Bernanke and I sure hope they don't replace him with someone like Lagarde or Lipsky. Geithener seems already to be plumping of the latter, who is also a Jew, a Stanford PhD and vice-chairman of JP Morgan Investment Bank, despite his interest in financial regulation. Strauss-Kahn wasn't granted bail, I'd imagine, because we have no extradition treaty with France (believe it or not) and there'd be every reason to suppose that the French would treat him like the blacks did O J Simpson. In a rather ancien regime or Victorian way the French consider corruption a matter of money. But this kind of thing offends American sensibilities just because it smacks of such elitist arrogance, and I'm afraid the French may well think it justifiable, the defensiveness that much worse because of the amount of finger-pointing they have been doing recently. Of course, there's every possibility that it was not outright attempted rape, and even a set-up. It's been known to happen. Perry Mason would have already had a dozen ppl who looked like him about to confuse the witnesses, regardless of whether he was guilty or not, but then he didn't have DNA to contend with. While I think stories such as yesterday's headline about Schwarzenegger and Co, or Hillary and Bill, etc, belong at the supermarket checkout, the public should not be surprised by them. Recall also John Edwards. With Sarkozy so far down in the polls it is to be presumed that if Strauss-Kahn were to have been the socialist candidate he might well have been elected French president. The feeling now is that the Ms Le Pen will benefit. I would like to ask Mr Erlanger why being a Jew is important for France, however.
