THOUGHTS ON STRAUSS-KAHN: Squashed has some more thoughts on the former IMF head. "Dominque Strauss-Kahn was a serious contender for the French Presidency … before this happened. While he is unlikely to be convicted at this point, his Presidential ambitions are jettisoned, he has been replaced at the IMF, and the charges are going to follow him indefinitely. Don’t pity him. “Unlikely to be convicted” is not the same as exonerated." Agreed.
