Dirty Dominque...


Something about the Dominique Strauss-Khan incident is eating away at my standards. So he got randy with a hotel maid. Nasty, indiscrete, French, but not necessarily a deal breaker. He will not go to prison if his lawyer is any good, and I am told he is.
That which absolutely boils my blood is DSK was put up in New York in a $3,000 a night hotel presumably paid for by the IMF. An Indonesian laborer would not make that amount of money in three years with basic wage at about a dollar per working day. Where in the world is the IMF's sense of balance, fairness and values to support such luxury? What amount is paid for other members of the IMF board to spend the night somewhere?

I call this immoral.

Donald Trump, Soros, Bill Gates or any Saudi Prince can spend whatever they want for a night in a hotel, but officers of international organizations should be ashamed of themselves for using donor money for their trysts and treats while staying abroad. I am completely against this sort of spending and firmly believe it is not for comfort, a better nights sleep, first class service, privacy or anything other than overweening egos that compel our captains of development to indulge in such unmitigated hedonism.

I hope DSK goes to prison and they cut off his ego.
