As best I can tell Scanner the rich think they own us all.
For this man and the rest who defend such complete idiots I like the idea of a worldwide 'fuck you'. It fits well....

You had me at "Fuck you Ben Stein."

Couldn't of said it better myself Scanner....well done.

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

I just love reading your posts. Yes indeed, Fuck Ben Stein and every rich male who thinks it's okay to rape, mistreat, and exploit other people. I would call them rich "men" but they don't deserve the title. Real men don't do that kind of shit.

He was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Then he left comedy.

It had to be said. Superbly unambiguous Scanner!

Stein worked for Nixon after finishing law school. Lying and cover ups rubbed off. Stien should go back to hosting a game show.

Between him and Bernard-Henri Levy, the world's gone mad.

The title sums up a lot. The short, fat wily ones would need to be pretty devious to get sex, no? Is Ben Stein referring to his own persuasion techniques? (apparently, he was an economist during the Nixon era, or just a long time ago, not just a economist groupie).

Four hours later I get to this post.
Could not have said this better.

Great piece of writing, as usual, I completely agree.

It's funny to see people like him as a talking head. He is no one at all, except rich, raunchy, and ridiculous. Yet, someone, on some CNN/CNBC/FOX will have him again. I agree, fuck you Ben!!!!

I can say this because I'm Jewish.

What the fuck is going on here?

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is Jewish. Bernard Henri-Levy is Jewish. Michael Bloomberg is Jewish. Ben Fucking Stein is Jewish.

What the fuck is going on with these Jews? If I believed in collective guilt I would be beating my head on the ground to expiate the sin.

Well, Scanner, here the secret. When people get to a certain level of wealth, they cease to be strictly human. Just as there is a species called Homo Sapien or "Knowing Man," there's also a species that looks almost identical to the Homo Sapien but has a much higher credit rating and significant disposable wealth, whom I call Homo Capitalist. The Homo Capitalist differs from the Homo Sapien in that Homo Sapien knows things while the Homo Capitalist buys things. Justice is a thing and, therefore, something that can be purchased.

The International Monetary Fund has been raping the citizens of the world for more than forty years. Wherever the IMF goes, hard ship and deprivation follows as they pursue a policy of privatization of the public resources of one country after another.

The unfortunate thing about Strauss-Kahn isn't that he tried to rape women, and failed. The unfortunate thing is that he has been raping the planet for the past four years, and succeeding.

If you have no conpunctions about raping a whole people, why would scruple to rape a single woman. An asshole is an asshole and he's an asshole.

As far as the other assholes are concerned, well, maybe they think they have an obligation to support this guy.

Note to the list: you don't need to support Dominque. You need to check yourselves. This guy has been doing this kind of thing for years. He's a sick man and needs to be treated for his illness.

You all, however, haven't got illness as an excuse.

Fuck you, Ben Stein!!!!!! What a psycho piece of dung.

Well done, Scanner.

What do you expect of a guy who wrote speeches for Richard Nixon??

F.U.B.S!! / R

Here! Here! Well, said. But don't tell Strauss-Kahn--he might get excited at the word "fuck."

Works for me.

Sorry I'm late. Blame OS.

Stein's father was a big time Republican economist before him. This is the kind of entitlement that's killing the country, not SS. These people really seem to be trying to build an American aristocratic class and they do stick together.

1, 2, 3
FUCK YOU, BEN STEIN! And to all others who excuse and explain away DSK's criminal behavior!

(But really, F***ing Ben Stein would be a loathesome job, and the danger is that he might enjoy it.)

Awesome post.

The minute I heard that maid is from Guinea I knew they would start besmirching her. She MIGHT have AIDS?????? Money truly IS the root of all evil. All of it.

Lezlie

Strauss-Kahn is utterly monstrous. Not only did he shove his manhood between the maid's jaws and spray sperm on her uniform, he was also making lurid comments to the rest of the staff before he zoomed in on her. The way he jumped the maid suggests that this is routine behavior for him. He has probably pulled the same trick at many hotels in the past, shutting the ravaged help up with thousand dollar notes in their knickers. Hats off to the Guinean maid for finally fighting back and calling for help, they should build a statue to her. Someone should have turned this guy in decades ago. Truly repulsive - although if, as sagemerlin comments, what DSK does to servants is ultimately worse than what he and his organization do to the Third World every day is a question for greater minds than mine to answer. In either case, the same nouns apply to both.

Thanks for the comments, I just got back from a doctors appointment. Terri has a hernia the size of a baseball in her belly and it hurts like hell. Thursday as an out-patient, they are either going to push it back in and put some type of mesh tape over it or remove it. Either way, she's out of commission for 6 weeks and I'm the man servant. Doesn't bother me a bit, I love it. Sage, you may think this guy needs help and he probably does, but I don't feel sorry for this bastard. He has used his wealth and influence all over the world to rape and assault and degrade women. I feel for the maid and the victims. Fuck that motherfucker with a flagpole, use the French flag!

Yeah , the rich do own us. ~shrug~ And for some reason, we put up with it without hardly a whisper.

~shaking head~ RATED!

Let's get on with the hanging!

Trial? Who needs it? We have rumour, innuendo, an accusation by a WOMAN, and lurid media stories. Who could ask for more? Every time we've jumped the gun like this, in the past, we've ALWAYS been right! Right?

Or is it?

Pithy--well-said

He has been a dick for a long, long time. I think I jumped the gun on a bit on the ending chant. Lo Siento.

If they had their way they'd be herding us into the Soylent Green processing plant. I'm with you, Scanman. Fuck the bastards.

You may say fuck you to me to Scanner but there are a myriad of discrepancy's in this whole story and there is little doubt that Strauss-Kahn is being denied due process and being tried in the media. Don’t get me wrong he probably is a perv most rich old men are that before they are anything else but he is also the leader of the Socialist party in France and was very likely to unseat “American” puppet Sarkozy in Frances next election derailing the NWO’s attempts to designate France as the new policeman of Libya. Besides being a twisted little man he was perhaps the last friend poor people had in the IMF. Why don’t we let the criminal justice system figure this out and not Rupert Murdoch.

He's been a cultural nuisance for years. You are lucky you spaced him for so long.

Yes, Yes, Yes on all your sentiments. Fuck you, Ben Stein!!! Wonderful cathartic post. Phew.

you said it all, thank you.

It's darkly ironic that this obvious brutal aristocratic bastard not only functioned without criticism in destroying entire economies of countries putting millions out of word and causing all sorts of frightful miseries as a functionary of the IMF but was headed to become the leader of his country because of it and was highly lauded for his activity. And the extraordinary depth and intensity of disdain he now receives for no doubt doing a rather frightful sex act on a woman has brought him down. I find this weird.

That should be putting millions out of work, not "out of word".

Ben Stein is a droll asshole. He belongs to a conservative group who think there are two classes in this country: Ben and his Buddies and the Help. The Help has no rights, is there for the amusement and exploitation of Ben and his Buddies, and need to be put back in their place.

the IMF seems to function as an international loan shark ring.

one of the first economists who pointed this out was Stiglitz close to 10yrs ago.

but, the weird irony is that Strauss-Kahn apparently agreed with Stiglitz and was pushing back against the standard "austerity" measures. "austerity measure" in Globalization-speak basically amounts to something like "kneecapping the victim"....

but, americans are pretty slow to figure out economics. they were fleeced blind in the last crash and are still debating how exactly that happened, and havent prosecuted anyone except the old, rich white guy Great Scapegoat Madoff [and surprise!! things are no better with him in jail....]

which has strange parallels to the current case....

jack heart-- I agree. lynch mob vigilantes dog-packs are not the same as Justice. but the Internet is certainly a natural place for them.
americans are kind of hazy on that concept of Justice after nearly a decade of deterioration.... attorney general rubber stamps the obama/osama execution as Appropriate. just like a Loyal Bureacrat!! falling in line!! just like his boss!!

You tell 'em scanner. And tell 'em once more for me.

the Mobocracy.... doesnt do "nuance".
just like George Bush famously declared....
ah dont worry about it, just go back to your wrestling matches, Joe Sixpack

vzn, I just happen to have one Fuck You left over. Fuck You~~~~

Fuck the facts. The rich super elite are not held accountable for their actions. The police officers who pulled DSK off the plane will probably be reassigned to the south bronx.

She should have bit the thing off! :-) I agree Scanner with your sentiments entirely.

This guy is way off; he always pissed me off. Well said, Scanman. R

I had thought of doing a post called "Fuck Bernard-Henri Levy," but now I guess I don't have to, because you've said it all. Let's see Mr. Strauss-Kahn's defenders explain away his DNA on her dress.

Great post scanner, and a hearty fuck you to anyone who thinks Strauss-Kahn is being deprived of due process. Is he not getting a trial? What do you think due process is?

Yeah......fuck you yeah?

Yes, but how do you really feel...?

I feel fulfilled. For years I've been mystified by those who think he's funny. I hope he loses all his endorsements, a la the Aflac duck guy.
