The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Strauss-Kahn. Again.

    In other news, reports that another hotel burned down around Strauss-Kahn were met with surprise from Kahn, who alleges he had no idea those were flames consuming his bedroom: "Ze hotel burned down? Mon Dieu! I had no idea the smoke was from fire! This is terreeble! Was anyone hurt?"

    Prosecutors, investigators, and other authorities during a press conference in front the latest pile of smoldering rubble at which Strauss-Kahn stayed defended their inability: "We do not have a "smoking gun" linking Kahn to this latest conflagration."

    When it was pointed out that they were standing in front of an large pile of smoking remains, they clarified their remarks: "We have, thus far, been unable to find the smoking match used to set the alleged fire that apparently caused this pile of smoking remains to emerge from the hotel. Rest assured, we are sifting the rubble and if the match exists we will find it."

    That's politics.

    You're welcome.
