Last week, accused rapist and former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn was granted bail, on the condition in remain in New York and be monitored 24/7. He was originally slated to stay with his wife at the Bristol Plaza, which bill itself as “better than a hotel” and comes with daily maid service, but the tenants said not on their watch. He’s since found a home in Tribeca and while he’s not allowed to leave legal and medical appointments, plus weekly worship, the 6,800-square-foot townhouse, which is setting his wife back £30,000 a month, should provide plenty of room to stretch his shit out. Also included:

* a walled roof garden surrounded by “Japanese paper glass” screens

* limestone radiant heat floors

* fine Italian baths

* “rainfall steam showers”

* a home theater

* nearby restaurants such as Landmarc, which helpfully deliver (DSK had “£148-worth of steaks and salads” sent over his first night there)

* neighbors like Jay-Z and Robert DeNiro

* Maid service: unknown

    At Rikers, he would get daily cock worship, so I suspect he will be praying hard weekly

    The smart money says DSK walks.  She gets paid off and recants or they smear her and she is no longer credible.

    heard he grabbed  geithners, nether regions…………………………

    Should have moved in with Roubini as long as he’s going to be in the neighborhood.  DSK would’ve been a beast at New Years.   Bet he’d fuck lobsters once he gets a couple of drinks in him.

    “The couple’s new neighbours said yesterday that they were furious. “Our street is now covered with cops and cameras,” said Kate Drury, a 21-year-old student who lives next door. ”

    Drury?  I wonder what the Confused Commentator thinks…

    I beg your pardon?

    I heard he’s getting the shower heads refitted for golden showers. It is the French way

  19. Posted by AmericanBandersnatch | May 26, 2011 at 9:50 PM

    Agree – she’ll get Alsace and Lorraine.

    If there’s French kiss, DSK BJ, wonder what French “shower” is.

    The maid my wife chose is a bit stuffy. I like to walk around in the buff and she refused to touch little kahn. Of course I was planning to give it to her in the arse anyways but I have this other matter to deal with first.
