Hey, Knock It Off, It's Hard Enough Keeping An Eye On Berlusconi
-
He's the head of the International Monetary Fund. He's the leading choice to run as the Socialist candidate for president of France. And now he's being detained for an alleged attempted rape of a hotel maid in New York. They pulled him off the plane for questioning. The maid says she knocked and entered, and he came out of the bathroom naked, threw her on the bed, and tried to rape her, but she broke free and ran. And the hotel said that when the cops came in, he'd already left, leaving his cellphone and other personal items behind, like he was in a major hurry. He's been accused of an "improper relationship" with a female employee before. Also strange: He's a Socialist, but as finance minister under Mitterand, he reduced the deficit by privatizing some of the government's functions. (AP via Los Angeles Times)
