[lbo-talk] Strauss Kahn

[Wendy Lyon]

What I would wonder about, if she made it all up, is how she managed
to pick a guy whose history with women is by all accounts so appalling
that it was quite easy to believe him capable of doing what she
alleged. If it was an entirely fabricated extortion plot she could
hardly have found a better candidate to extort. Is that sheer
coincidence, is there any real likelihood she and her co-conspirators
could have known what a pig they were dealing with?
