8) All we know is what Big Media is telling us. That guarantees we don’t know the real story.
Oh, that one’s easy, especially in this economy.
“I am a rich and powerful international politician with diplomatic immunity. I stay here often. Have sex with me or I will get you fired, blacklisted from the hotels around here, and nobody will ever believe your claims.”
No weapon needed.
When was the last time Ben Stein has been right about anything related to economists and bankers?
2006ish?
Presumed innocent? Of course. That’s why he is still breathing.
If you couple today’s journalism with human nature, we probably have no idea where the truth resides.
A short fat man of any age is still a lot bigger and stronger than the widowed woman suffering from aides in question. And as an African Muslim she would be conditioned culturally to fear men.
>You cannot force someone to do that kind of sex in you. And you don’t want to take that chance either.
The H3ll you can’t. - it happens every single day, and you should know that.
The jails are packed with thugs & assorted criminals who have done exactly that - and you should know that as well!
There has been a string of complaints from women before this one so there is plenty of reason to credit this woman’s story. And Rikers is where they put felons who have been denied bail because they are flight risks - which he most certainly is since France refused to extradite Roman Polansky.
Innocent until proven guilty, but...
why did he change his story from I was having lunch with my daughter to consensual sex.
I can see what she has to gain, but why change to story?
Ben Stein went off the tracks years ago.
The fact that he would jump into this ugly scene before we even know any facts is more evidence of that, why did he feel the compulsion to jump on this woman so early?
My impulse at this moment is sure not to take this creeps side.
Um...women in this situation usually acquire HIV from IV drug use, prostitution, where the latter supports the former.
Don't like Mr. Froggy Globalist Creepy. But the charge sure smells like a cheap frame.
Lotta people thought Condit offed the girl. Turned out to be an illegal alien murderer, years later. But that was totally discounted during the hysteria.
Just sayin'.

Rapists have said otherwise. I also know a number of women who have said otherwise. Slap a woman, beat a woman, and scare the living daylights out of her and she will probably do exactly what you want. According to men who were raped by other men that is also the outcome in their cases as well.
The question is...who wanted to get rid of him? Everyone knew he was a bad boy so, of course, such allegations would be believed immediately.
Yes, you can. Some people become so fearful they put up with anything, like walking into a gas chamber without any resistance.
Stein is full of sh*t. The other guests had checked out when they were supposed to at noon. A couple of days ago, a FReeper posted detailed info on the rooms on every floor in the Sofitel. Kahn's suite was on a floor with very few other rooms.

According to the consensus here, the dude is a “Socialist”, therefore, and quite obviously: GUILTY!
[2] Women accusers are always right! (Ask anyone who’s been accused of “sexual harassment”.)
[3] It’s a cultural thing. It dates back to the Puritans and their views on sex.
Sure you can't. How about, "Open your mouth and if you bite me I'll rip your ears off."
I don’t know but if the reports are correct he got out of there very quickly after the incident including leaving his cell phone behind and went right to the airport. I am guessing an experienced traveler would not go anywhere without his phone.
