DSK... friend or foe?

So ... I've recently become obsessed and fascinated with this whole DSK scandal. Especially after coming back from France.. where I was approached by French people and questioned whether I think he's guilty or not. It's also interesting because Rebecca and her friends had been studying Political Science in France this past year... so they had some good insight. The general sentiment in France is that DSK was set up by Sarkozy... this is a possibility because DSK has the younger generations vote.. and is a possible candidate to be the next leader of France. Another interesting aspect is the way media is covered in America and France. The french are outraged with American coverage because it's illegal to publish a photograph of someone in handcuffs unless they have been convicted - whereas in America.... we just go for the juicy scandals. A cultural difference is that in France.. when it comes to politicians their personal lives are kept very separate from their jobs.. basically the two arent mixed. Unfortunately for DSK, his womanizing background/reputation doesnt exactly work in his favor here. It seems to me that when a really well known and important person checks in to a hotel.. the employees are notified.  With that said, I have a hard time believing the maid when she says she didnt know who he was. The whole situation is really strange..DSK went straight to lunch with his daughter after (if he is guilty.. then that's a little perverse)... he also left his phone at the hotel.. adn called the hotel nonchalantly to go a retrieve it.. and the police arrived on the scene about an hour after the news broke out.Clearly things are run different in France..especially when it comes to sexual affairs. DSK's wife said in an interview that she thinks it's good that he's a seducer and that politicians should be seducers.. as long as at the end of the day he is attracted to her....
if she had left out that last statement.. then I may have taken it a different way....
but...... WHAT?
I can't wait to see what happens wtih this.. it'll be a major political upset for France if he happens to be guilty...My host dad and mom believe that he's guilty... my dad and all of France believe he was set up..
What do you think???
it's so exciting.........
