Ex-IMF chief Strauss-Kahn finds luxury digs in Tribeca

The Upper East Side rejected him, and he quickly wore out his welcome downtown, but Parisian pariah Dominique Strauss-Kahn has finally landed a posh pad in Tribeca.

The uber luxury $50,000-a-month townhouse at 153 Franklin St. -- replete with a bar, home theater, gym and steam bath and spa -- is where the IMF chief accused of the sex assault and attempted rape of a midtown hotel chambermaid will sit out his house arrest while he awaits trial, sources told the Post.

**SNIP**

The man already derided by critics as a member of "the Caviar Left" for his expensive tastes and Socialist politics should feel right at home surrounded by the best furnishings and electronics money can buy.

Along with the professional-quality kitchen and a "nanny suite," the first floor features a "great room" with a skylight and fireplace, perfect for those pre-trial strategy sessions with his lawyers, and limestone "radiant heat" floors, according to the broker’s swanky online description.

Socialist don’t pay for anything themselves. Always OPM.

This turd was pulling down $450k/yr tax free. POTUS only pulls down $400k, subject to normal tax. And you and I are OP.

That’s a pretty “sterile” looking place. I ccan see why he chose it though....lots of skylights flowing thru all three floors...so he won’t feel locked up. Regardless, it’ll still be a prison.

He called the hotel to see if he left his phone there, the police were already on the scene and told the desk how to handle the call...they set him up by saying they’d bring the phone to him.

rapist is 'very bored'

He's bored? I thought it was the women around him who had to worry about being bored by him.

"I think that excitement would be had by his fellow inmates."

Well at least he'd overcome his sense of ennui :-)

Not exactly cozy, but looks like a good place for a devil worshiper

The penalty shouldn’t be prison — the penalty should be to have Chuck Norris beat the ever-lovin’ crap of him. Thanks Cincinna.
