Chancer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I hope he sues the ar5e out of the Daily Mail.Naming him as a criminal suspect in the headline is outrageous when the last line of their speil is:The BBC's Christian Fraser, in Paris, says that although consorting with prostitutes is legal in France, supplying them to others is not.

Chancer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Good point!Mind you I might just have put the wind up them, the headline has been changed from him being taken into custody as a suspect to being questioned in relation to the affair.A shame they didnt put the headline into print, they would have had a problem changing all them!

idun Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 On the BBC they they said he asked how one could tell the difference between a naked prostitute and a naked woman. And it was suggested, maybe money is agreed before a prostitute would get undressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoddy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've been wondering about his brain never mind his libido. Does he really believe that lots of young and attractive women would go with him for any reason other than money ? Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have just chuckled at the BBC news on the subject.They report that DSK's lawyers have said that their client couldn't be expected to know that the woman were prostitutes, as they were naked.Perhaps if they'd still been wearing their "I'm a prostitute" t-shirts then all this unpleasantness could have been avoided.

He thought they were meeting him in hotels in Paris and travelling to Washington simply because they shared his interest in kinky sex [Www]... Yes, he is that candid.As an aside, there is also the matter of political favours hinted at during telephone calls by the company officials who were paying the women.
