WASN'T HE BLAMING MERKEL AND SARKOZY YESTERDAY?:
Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Anti-Americanism (Jacob Heilbrunn, May 18, 2011, National Interest)
You have to hand it to the French. It didn't take them long to blame America for Dominique Strauss-Kahn's problems. The French satyr, as Maureen Dowd calls him, is in a peck of trouble, sitting in Riker's Island with the hoi polloi. Bad food. Nasty inmates. Confinement. None of it can be very much fun, not to speak of comparing it to his digs at the Sofitel, where he's accused of having attempted to attack a chambermaid, an immigrant from (French?) Africa.So the French chattering classes have much to chatter about.
