[lbo-talk] Strauss Kahn

[shag carpet bomb]

i didn't pay attention to the case at all, but reading through this thread, 
i'm trying to understand why DSK would have not paid the tab or why Diallo 
would have increased the tab after the fact - or whatever happened. Does he 
have a history of not paying up. i read somewhere in the thread that he has 
a history of using prostitutes. I'm trying to picture someone "storming 
out" of the room because DSK didn't pay up. if she had lots of "dates" 
while in protective custody, she probably has a "pimp" - an agency - in 
which case the transaction is happening through a third party, and enforced 
as such. which is precisely why, historically, women have often had pimps 
in the past - as "protection". that has all changed with the internet, as 
audacia ray documents in her book about internet sex. but in such a case, 
wouldn't there be ample evidence (outside of leaks) that she had  a 
internet-based sex business going.... not that it is even worth worrying 
about whether or not she is a prostitute.

i think what creeps me out is the weird desire to root out left shiboleths 
and say, "see! see! i've found it. there it is. I so KNEW that all lefties 
were fucked up. i'm so special because i see the problem and most of the 
rest of 'em don't. what is WRONG with these people anyway. i'm just not 
even sure i want to be part of that gang. ugh!"

that used to be the Wojtek's territory. *spit*
