France: Culture Minister Is Attacked for Paying Young Asian Boys for Sex

The New York Times ^ | October 8, 2009 | STEVEN ERLANGER

[Cincinna]

The tide is turning against Polanski in France.

[donna]

That’s some headline.

Shouldn’t “attacked” read “exposed”, like it’s a bad thing?

[Talisker]

...he “got into the habit” of paying “young boys” for sex in Southeast Asia...

Hey, it was just a habit. You know, like taking the same streets when you drive to work, or shopping in the same order of aisles at the grocery store, or turning on the computer when you come home at night, or starting the coffee when you first get up, or screwing young boys for money.

You know, habit.

[Yardstick]

So he wrote of his “habit” in 2005 and still managed to get appointed culture minister? Incredible.

[Nachoman]

He was just sharing French culture.

[muawiyah]

More like he's sharing Eurotrash culture ~~ and all those little friends of his who signed petitions in support of Polanski probably do the same sort of thing.

Imagine the chagrin of the American homosexual community who are now finding out that their consorts abroad deal in children ~ oh, my, oh, my, oh, my!

[HiTech RedNeck]

what mitterand? tell us it is not true!

[HiTech RedNeck]

this is not the mitterand that was president of france though.

[proxy_user]

Well, I hope he used a French letter.

[nonsporting]

Shouldn’t “attacked” read “exposed”, like it’s a bad thing?

Good catch.

The paedophiles and pederasts seem to be coming out of the woodwork now. I don't know which is more sickening: their actions or the media's mitigation.

The tide is turning against Polanski in France. Many of the elites are still trying to shoot the messenger (Marine le Pen)but the outcry against Polanski among regular folks, even many writers and artists, is growing. They are even turning on one of their own, Frederic Mitterrand, the new Minister of Culture.

Sarko has made a priority of ending sexual exploitation of children, especially via sexual tourism. The political career of Mitterrand,is, IMO, on life support.

If you have a strong stomach, and read French, here are the excerpts of Mitterrand’s book caudsing the uproar:

Extrait du livre La Mauvaise Vie, de Frédéric Mitterrand (Edition Robert Laffont, 360 p., 2005), pages 293 à 307.

http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2009/10/08/extrait-de-la-mauvaise-vie-de-frederic-mitterrand_1251310_823448.html#xtor=EPR-32280229-%5BNL_Titresdujour%5D-20091008-%5Bzonea%5D&ens_id=1241480

[Billthedrill]

The UK Daily Mail dredged up Mitterand's actual quote from his autobiography. It is:

'All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excite me enormously. One could judge this abominable spectacle from a moral standpoint but it pleases me beyond the reasonable.'

He was in actuality a sex tourist paying pimps for intercourse with underaged boys who had no choice in the matter. In his own words, a "slave market." M Mitterand apparently has some perspective from which to judge this other than the moral one. I'm not sure I really want to know what it might be, but I can guess.

[MHGinTN]

Seems appropriate here ...

[HiTech RedNeck]

it is titillation. what a worm of a frog

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Cincinna. And thanks Sarko.

[Carl LaFong]

Yes. Notice that the Slimes considers that he’s being “attacked” as being the story rather than the acts and the fact that he admitted it.
Thus, he’s placed as being the victim in the story.
Old Radio Moscow had nothing on the current MSM.

[Cincinna]

Frederic Mityterrand is the nephew of Francois Mitterrand, President of France for 14 years.

[HiTech RedNeck]

naughty naughty nephew!
actually, more like a worm. frederic est un ver!

[Slings and Arrows]

They support single-payer pedophilia.

[Snapping Turtle]

A new way some celebrities “redistribute their wealth.”
