So now Jack Lang and other Socialist Party members are saying Dominique Strauss-Kahn can return to politics in France, as reports suggest that the prosecution's case against him for sexual assault may collapse.
Maybe, but I think too much has come out about his behavior that even the French, for all their tolerance of sexual peccadilloes, will find reprehensible. Yes, an elected Socialist president could appoint him prime minister, but why would any politician want to help rehabilitate a potential rival? There are many other potential prime ministers who can perform the job capably.
DSK evidently sailed close to the wind for a long time and got engulfed by a wave he couldn't control. May be just time to retire with his wife's millions, if she'll still have him.
