Anne Mansouret, a prominent member of the party who originally dissuaded her daughter from filing a complaint against Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 2002, is now talking about the incident.

So she has stopped being a whore?

The machinations and intrigues of a vast left-wing conspiracy.

[Cincinna]

With the DSK affair & the pedophile sex party scandal emerging in France, the Socialists are running for cover. Instead of denouncing these criminals and degenerates, they are protecting them.
With an almost assured victory against Sarko in 2012, they have dropped the ball, and, IMHO, cannot get back in the game.
Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

I’ll keep you all informed  about the DSK case in detail, as well as covering other French political and cultural events. 
NEXT COURT APPEARANCE IS JUNE 6.

“In the book, published in 2003, she interviewed several well-known men about errors they had made in their careers. Mr. Strauss-Kahn spoke of his involvement in a major political and financial scandal in 1998, although he was cleared of charges.”

Apparently, he didn’t see attempted rape/sexual assault as a possible error.

Is it really “news” that the truth is anathema to Socialists?

[Lurker]

And some Socialists — deeply embarrassed by the allegations against the wealthy man who was likely to be their presidential candidate next year — have called for her expulsion from the party.

That's Socialism at it's very core. It requires as one of it's central tenets the rejection of truth. Let that fact roll around in your head for a bit.

Heh, not sure how this will play in French politics overall as there are very different views in France over things such as this as there are in US politics.
