When Not Otherwise Engaged, IMF's Dominique Strauss-Kahn Blogs at Huffington Post
Interesting revelation at Huffington Post today about International Monetary Fund managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn facing charges stemming from an alleged sexual assault involving a hotel maid.
"Strauss-Kahn has blogged for HuffPost," the story reads, nine paragraphs deep. Well, that certainly catches a reader's attention.
Turns out the prominent French socialist has blogged at HuffPo at least a dozen times over the last eighteen months, including four posts this year. Most recently, on March 31, Strauss-Kahn wrote about China's economy and the international monetary system. All of his posts, linked here, have been on economics.
Another HuffPo story on Strauss-Kahn described him as a married father of four "whose reputation with women earned him the nickname 'the great seducer.' " The story also revealed that a woman in France who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Strauss-Kahn nine years ago "now wants to file a legal complaint against the IMF head."
Liberal economist Bob Kuttner quickly assured HuffPo readers that "even before this latest scandal broke, Strauss-Kahn didn't seem like much of a socialist."

Mr. Coleman, please tell us more about the IMF than the following salacious story: "... revealed that a woman in France who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Strauss-Kahn nine years ago..."
Why don't you write about the assault of the American taxpayers by US congressmen who vote to increase funding for the International Monetary Fund?
Would stories along that line not be salacious enough?
Perhaps you would be surprised of the interest in the less salacious side by detailing the side that rarely gets any press such as: US taxpayers are forced to unwrite the bad loans made by international bankers to third world governments who default on their loans. Taxpayers lose while the rape artists bankers save their banks from big losses by congress' shady deals to the IMF.
Well how about you pen a forum on the IMF, Groin?

In case you haven't noticed, the Strauss-Kahn story is leading the headlines. Everywhere.
We cover liberal bias in media ...

.... not machinations of the IMF and its funding. But thanks for the heads-up, I'll be watching for lefties who sugarcoat what you describe.
I'm sure you know the history of the IMF

but this link is just something written by Professor Charles Scaliger. It's as fine a piece that I've found on the net on the history of the Bretton Woods conference where the IMF was hammered out: http://www.thenewamerican.com/history/world/590-bretton-woods

(YBH) – In April of 2009, Huffington Post blogger and Columbia professor David Epstein wrote an editorial entitled “It’s the Abuse of Trust, Stupid.” Ironically, the same Huffington Post blogger and Columbia professor was recently arrested for having sex with his 24 year old daughter.
Mr. Epstein’s editorials for the Huffington Post covered a wide range of topics from Dick Cheney and torture to Sarah Palin and the 2008 election cycle. His posts are full of leftist vitriol and sanctimonious drivel. He is a Columbia professor, after all.
Mr. Epstein’s articles are good for such biting rhetoric as “so when Dick (aptly named) Cheney…”
