<p><strong>Dominique Strauss-Kahn</strong> is officially in hot water again, as French officials arrested the former International Monetary Fund chief yesterday <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/22/world/europe/french-police-detain-strauss-kahn-for-questioning.html">over suspicions that he used embezzled funds to pay for his wild swinger orgies</a>.</p>
<p>While Mr. Strauss-Kahn was released from suspicions of rape charges after it was found that  the maid he allegedly molested <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/08/dominique-strauss-kahns-prosecutors-ask-for-dismissal-of-criminal-charges/">had issues with her credibility</a> (and the journalist he raped <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/10/dominique-strauss-kahns-french-rape-charges-dropped-because-it-happened-too-long-ago/">ran out her statutes of limitations</a>)<a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/10/dominique-strauss-kahns-french-rape-charges-dropped-because-it-happened-too-long-ago/"></a>, he could go down Al Capone-style. It wasn't that he participated in partner-swapping sex parties, you see, it was that some of these naked women might have been paid for the pleasure of the 62-year-old's company. Orgies? Well he's just being French! But prostitution? Merde!</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lawyer <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/cops_haul_dsk_in_for_questioning_XnZWv4QAUIt2cWtA323vLM">had an interesting take on the issue</a>.</p>
<p><!--more-->"He could easily not have known (that the women were being paid)," said lawyer <strong>Henri Leclerc</strong> in a statement made in December. "Because as you can imagine, at these kinds of parties you're not always dressed."</p>
<p>Huh?</p>
<p>"I defy you to tell the difference between a nude prostitute and a nude classy woman," he clarified.</p>
<p>Oh, well he has a point there. Stripped down out of their mandatory t-shirt reading "Prostituée," its impossible to tell a normal stranger willing to have sex with you from a paid lady of the night.</p>
