- Description
Text reads 'Blatter control' and the cartoon shows former Chief of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) Dominique Strauss-Kahn, saying 'It's just a matter of holding on' as he clutches his trousers. There is a wordplay on 'blatter' and 'bladder'. Context - The cartoon suggests that patience 'blatter' will result in a good outcome for Strauss-Kahn. The rape case in which Strauss-Kahn was accused of sexual assault by a New York hotel maid appears to be unravelling as questions are being asked about the credibility of the maid. The Socialist politician was a strong candidate to be France's next president but two new polls find the French split over whether Strauss-Kahn should return to politics if the charges are withdrawn. There are suggestions of a plot to bring him down but the case has unleashed a passionate debate in France about machoism and sexuality in politics. (News.com Voice of America 4 July 2011)
