Attention Bankers
By Mitch Berg
Two weeks after Dominique Strauss-Kahn was held on rape charges in Manhattan, an Egyptian financier was arrested yesterday on charges of sexually abusing a maid at The Pierre (above), one of New York City’s most luxurious hotels.
He is Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar, a former chairman of the Bank of Alexandria, one of Egypt’s biggest banks. Omar, 74, is thought to have been visiting New York in his current capacity as chairman of the salt production company, El-Mex Salines.
The Egyptian is accused of abusing the 44-year-old maid after calling for tissues to be delivered to his tenth-floor room on Sunday evening. As soon as she entered the room, police say, Omar “touched her inappropriately” and locked the door – a charge also leveled at Strauss-Kahn.
International bankers have a worse record than the Twins, so far this season.

Things that don’t go well together. 74 year old bankers and viagara.
You have to wonder if these guys watched too much porn. You know, the guy traveling on business stays in a hotel and the staff comes up for cleaning. Next think you know they are doing it on the couch. And these guys think the real world is like that (and for old guys).

They are International Bankers. They aren’t subject to the same rules as commoners. Kinda like the CEOs of General Motors and G.E.

Why should their privileges be limited to low or no taxes? Gotta do something with that money. They’re just creating “jobs.”
