When I was little, I often heard the saying ‘Every pot will find its lid'. Some women in their pursuit of beauty put a mud mask on their faces (some become prettier with the mud mask on than when it's off). Then there are those women who will always look beautiful, even if they were born in the dark ages. I don't know what happens to some men when they see a woman, any woman, even if she were of the previous kind. Seeing a skirt is enough for a gentleman to lose his mind as though he were a hyena in the breeding season, as we have seen in the scandal of the former IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn. He was alleged to have assaulted a maid in a hotel while he was naked, and then rushed to the airport to flee the country. But he was soon arrested and forced to leave the plane, and is now facing counts of sexual assault in New York City. If this involved only one man, we would have said he is crazy. However, they all, with the exception of the reader and I, are like Strauss-Kahn. I had barely commented on his case a few days ago when I read news about the former French minister Luc Ferry, who was summoned for investigation on counts of participating in an orgy with homosexuals. Another minister, Georges Tron, was accused of sexual harassment by two women between 2007 and 2010. He then resigned from his post to avoid a scandal that could affect the party of President Sarkozy. This would have diverted attention away from the scandal of the Socialist Party, to which Strauss-Kahn belonged, and who became history after having been a candidate that was likely to defeat the president in the upcoming elections. Does the reader want to read what is even stranger than the above? At the same time, I was reading in the American press about the allegations against Congressman Anthony Weiner, who was accused of sending obscene photos to a student. The electronic newspaper the Huffington Post also mentioned that the former president of the Bank of Alexandria, Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar, was also accused in New York of sexually assaulting a maid at a hotel. The police spokesman Paul Brown said that the police received a complaint which it found plausible. Between this and that there is Scott Ritter, the weapons inspector in Iraq, who was accused of attempting to make sexual contact with a fifteen-year old girl and was caught in a police sting operation. Is there some kind of a chemical agent in New York that turns men into sexual predators? Is there a conspiracy against rich people and celebrities? This cannot be a Zionist conspiracy because Strauss-Kahn and his wife are Zionists to the bone. But don't believe that chemicals play a role in this affair. I have been visiting New York every year for 40 years, and I have never felt a desire to harass a hotel maid, or even an attractive guest. This brings me back to the idea of a conspiracy. I am neither that famous nor rich enough to motivate a conspiracy against me by pumping a chemical aphrodisiac through the air-conditioning in my room. Once again, there is news of this sort every day, and perhaps the attorney Gloria Allred will one day write a book about the legal cases she handled. For example, she represented the family of Nicole Brown, who was allegedly murdered by her husband O.J Simpson, and also represented the erotic actress Jodie Fisher against the CEO of Hewlett-Packard Mark Hurd. He was accused of sexually harassing her and resigned and compensated the actress as a result. Allred is now preoccupied with the case filed by Violet Kowal, the mistress of Mel Gibson, against the famous actor, and also Rachel Uchitel in a case filed against the golf player Tiger Woods. Of course, there is the director Roman Polanski, who is wanted in the United States for raping a minor. Switzerland had arrested him and then released him on bail, even though he was accused by many women in successive complaints that would have been enough to put him behind bars for life. What is the next scandal and which famous politician or actor will it involve? In Britain, there were around one hundred cases wherein the courts issued super injunctions banning the media from disclosing the names of the complainants and defendants on the grounds that these cases do not concern the public. As a result, there was a campaign to change the laws that do not have jurisdiction over the online media, as many names that the printed press could not publish were revealed by hundreds of internet sites. I now believe that inside every man, there is a Monica Lewinsky-type scandal waiting to explode. And for every boss who harassed an employee because he thought harassment was tax-free, I suggest, to ward off suspicions, that his office be relocated to the roof…all by himself. [email protected]
