    Now the New York Post is claiming that the woman is a hooker as well as a maid.

    So how reliable is this rag? Is there a Noo Yarker in the house?

    The New York Post isn't meant to be taken seriously. It is halfway between The Onion and the New York Times, so it pretty much fails at either goal of bringing facts or being funny.

    I shouldn't have been surprised that this was all a hatchet job-- Everything seemed way too convenient, I don't think it was a complex setup, but the chips fell perfectly for his opponents to capitalize on it.

    And Welcome back Adrian.

    Welcome back Adrian!! I hope you stick around for a while.

    I have nothing to say on DSK.

    I almost feel sorry for the women. Her life will have been taken apart by an army of consultants that would view every aspect of everything she has ever done. If it was a nun they'd've found the sweetie she stole when 6. Seems somewhat stupid.

    For him, he's lost a job at the IMF - but gained a better shot at becoming the French President. Perhaps a good tradeoff...?

    Doubt he is all that happy with all this. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now as nobody who has worked himself up that high can be this stupid. Some phonecalls the maid made prior and afterwards don't exactly speak for her credentials

    Awww, how unfair. All she did was act like a wh prostitute, a money-grubbing liar and a fraudster.

    Payback can be such a chamber maid.
