Culture Club

So the French culture minister is asked to resign over accusations of paying for boys while on vacation in Thailand (sex tourism). Which he doesn’t deny. Plus he seems to oppose the extradition of Polanski to the US. And of course Sarcozy defends him all the way. Isn’t this a beautiful story.

Maybe post mortem, just like Michael Jackson, we will remember him for his achievements as an exemplary minister of culture, rather than something else.

Best part of the story:
QUOTE
France considers itself to be at the forefront of the fight against sex tourism but Guaino said Mitterrand would not compromise this position.

"I have not heard Frederic Mitterrand say anything against France's position of fighting sex tourism," Guaino said.
UNQUOTE

I guess he decided to fight it from the inside...

Let us now all have our collective WTF moment...
