Hot Bunny


Dominique Strauss-Khan (DSK) received a hot reception at the Cambridge Union Society the other night - but not the kind he might have hoped for given his reputation as a 'hot bunny' - or 'chaud lapin' as they say in France.

The former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - who is embroiled in a series of nasty sex scandals - was invited to speak on his second favourite subject: world finance and economics.

But DSK is a thoroughly discredited figure these days - so why the Cambridge Union Society or anyone else would be interested in what he had to say - is a bit of a mystery.

And I'm pleased to say that many of the local student population seem to agree - because the one-time French presidential hopeful was met with jeers as he arrived - while protesters scuffled with police.

Now I'm all in favour of free speech - but I can't think of a good reason for DSK to be invited to speak to such an audience - apart from a cheap publicity stunt.

Criminal charges against DSK may have been drooped over claims that he attacked a hotel chambermaid - Nafissatou Diallo - in New York.

But he also faces another complaint of sexual assault from a young French women - Tristane Banon - and is currently under investigation by French police for his alleged involvement in a prostitution racket.

So whatever his views on world finance and economics - he clearly has a 'trouser problem' and all the sexual morals of an alley cat.

For some reason journalists were forbidden to hear DSK's speech but one student in the audience told reporters the French politician had been asked one question about the chambermaid incident and told listeners he had been 'acquitted'.

Which is strictly speaking is true - but conveniently ignores the fact that the chambermaid may bring a civil case against DSK - and his deplorable 'tom-catting' sexual behaviour for a 62-year-old man who is happily married to a successful wife - Anne Sinclair.

Anne has stood by her man throughout these events - for reasons which are not obvious tome - but which seem to revolve around a belief that this self-confessed serial adulterer - is not also a serial abuser of women.

Strange what some French people seem to regard as acceptable behaviour - sophisticated even - don't you think?

As if the private and public lives of such wealthy and powerful men don't overlap - on their travels around the world on official business.

So I take my hat off to the Cambridge students who organised the protest.

This champagne socialist may be entitled to his views - but the 'hot bunny' deserves to be met with a hot reception wherever he goes.
