George C. Scott is just trying to watch his stories but Sir Ian McKellen won't shut up.
I don't see how DSK doesn't go full Polanski here. All he has to do is cut the bracelet off, get in a car and onto a waiting private jet and he is home free back in France. You can't tell me his friends wouldn't easily raise the five million in forfeited bail and provide a jet to get him home.
#1 rule of politics:
It's the rising stars that you try to make friends with. Never hitch yourself to a failure, because there's no way that an alliance with one can help you in the future.
I just realized that you meant "friends" as in someone who cares about his well-being/etc. Politicians at such a high level don't really have those.
But there are plenty of rich socialists in France who would gladly pony up to stick it in the eye of the Americans. They don't need to care about his well being to help him escape.
Maybe he is friendless but I doubt it.
Another great first rule of politics could be found in yesterday's morning links:
Martin Lomasney ("The Mahatma," as he was called) and his first rule of politics: "Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink."
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind man, eh?
say no more.
#1 Rule of Politics Club....don't talk about....etc....
Come on guys, really? Let's be serious.
Derp Derp Space Monkey Derp
I heard on the news this morning that apparently he is also being monitored by armed guards, so it may not be all that easy.
Perhaps not. I think it is highly probable he is guilty and highly probable he will be convicted.
I agree, which is why I think he will certainly try to flee if the opportunity presents itself.
Here's what he's gonna do.
Why does Bok bother?
And as they were sinking into the river, the scorpion told the frog "that's just what I do".

yeah,well.Looking forward to your more music
It looks like he liked the maid service is Mexico too
Why Is there a "no maid service" behind his ass? That's false advertisement
never mind; it's no maid served
because that's all behind him now...
I don't care what the Bok haters say, this one's a home run.
Bok hatin' is a silly Reason meme
-kinda like 'drink' 🙂
"drink" is not a mere meme! I take it verrry seriousily.

Nice "jump" suit.
Actually funny. What happened here?
All he had to do is leave $5 on the pillow, and this would not have been a blip on the screen of life.
Good morning, Suki, where ever you are.
The IMF guy had better get the hell out of there before DSK starts thinking about raping him.
The IMF represents the taxpayer and is willing to be fucked; there's no pleasure/power in a willing victim
Needs more labels.
Second - my reaction exactly
Fat, dumpy guys always increase the humor. Slim cats, not so much.
Gosh, this is as funny as Soviet satire used to be. Attacking official enemies is always hilarious.
We'll remember that next time you attack a right-of-center American politician.
I'm sorry, Bok lovers - I did not find this humorous. Nor funny.
...and why is David Letterman in the cell holding a saddlebag?
...and why is Boris Yeltsin in jail, wearing boxers with hearts on them? I thought he died 3 or 4 years ago...?
Kome o? Comrades, really? Let's be serious.
Strauss-Kahn should have stink lines coming off him to indicate he's French.
Raaaaacist!!!
Seriously... years ago, a girl I dated called me a racist because I made a joke about the French.
Never mind how fucking white they are... somehow, it's STILL racist.
Well, to liberals, that is.
His lawyer's nose doesn't look Jewish enough. And he should be gesticulating with his arms.
BAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! NO MAID SERVICE!!! BECAUSE HE RAPED A MAID! AH-HAHAHAHAHA! OH IT's PRICELESS!
Every day we face with countertop,you can have a high quality of life with granite countertop of yalitongstone,but we will also very pleased if you can see Huaxingstone's granite countertop.

I am a maid and I feel like this accuser has given us a bad wrap since DA dropped the case...
I am a maid and I feel like the accuser has given us a bad name!
If you grew up like I do using a romantic eyesight of what my wedding party ought to be like, then no make any difference how quite a few issues there are to request yourself, you're positive of a single thing, it requirements being perfect. these days not everybody seems as worried about discovering the great Wedding Dresses, but for the vast majority of us - deep within - it actually does matter.
As quickly when you start preparing or even the large day, deciding on your wedding party attire gets an urgent require for most brides. Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".
The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly. Where you can also purchase your ideal wedding dress and some new fashions. whatever style, colour or cost variety you sooner or later choose on when deciding on your wedding party dress, don't neglect that it's you your fianc? fell in adore with, not your dress. The attire adds towards ambiance from the day, however it isn't the genuine centerpiece.
After you have selected your wedding party attire hang it inside bag it arrives in and don't display it to everybody. Give company a thing to start looking forward to once they see you for your initial time walking along the aisle. And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!
