Well well well, if it isn't another friendly sex scandal in and out of high offices. “This is a very bad time for a leadership distraction,” said Simon Johnson, a former chief economist at the I.M.F. Leadership distractions, of course, are like pie, and there's always room for pie. Delicious cyanide pie, like all the other ever bigger (or smaller) slices of the pie we're served. ...Of course the pie is full of crises, genetically engineered into the sickly body of capitalism from the start.
The great white I.M.Father got it on with "Piroska Nagy, who was a senior official in the I.M.F.’s Africa Department. Ms. Nagy left the fund in August as part of a buyout of nearly 600 employees instituted by Mr. Strauss-Kahn to cut costs." And him and his IMF were always experts at cutting costs (as well, of course, as throats, water, trees, corners, etc.) in Africa. Another story that cries Wolfowitz. But as for old man Paul, "by contrast, Mr. Strauss-Kahn is generally liked and respected at the agency."
Too bad to lose a good apple in such a barrel of fun as the mosquitolike plague of foreign lands, the IMF... What the world-monopolists can't kill with guns, they kill with loans. It's obvious by now what happens with a system based on loans.
I guess the managing director got a loan with just a little too much interest on it from old Ms Nagy.
