Affairs - foreign and otherwise - surround Francois Hollande's state visit
(CNN) - When French President Francois Hollande flew to Washington this week for a state visit, he brought along a lot of baggage - and it's not his country's famous Louis Vuitton.
Hollande left France amid sinking popularity ratings and swirling reports that he cheated on his partner of seven years with a younger movie actress - making this week's trip something of an escape for the embattled president.

Oh please.
When did the French become so morally righteous?
The French are historically renowned libertines.
Hollande was just being...French.

Yes, well. We in Minnesota are still experiencing frigid temperatures. Neither of which matters to any but those who have been affected by either the frigid weather or French President Francois Hollande's "baggage".

Looks like cnn temporarily suspended your "posting" visa as you're answering yesterday's question today (wink!).
We care about the unusually firigid temperatures that some of us are being subjected to. You are a part of us (US).
Certainly more than we do about the moral (or inmoral, if you want to judge) shenanigans of the French president and his over-priced luggage!
N'est ce pas? Mai oui!
If you could keep President HOLLAND, the French people will be eternally grateful!

Merci !
I can't remember when it first started getting so cold up here. Before Christmas, certainly. WOW. Its been too long.
