The French Are Different Than Us

C'est vrai.

I just heard an NPR story on the President of France's love life. Apparently yesterday he gave a two-hour press conference (!) in which the main topic was whether and when he was going to marry the supermodel he's been dating. The description of his response made him sound remarkably candid and straightfoward, for a politician. But my favorite line was from one of the newscasters: "Are there policy implications when the President of France is dating a supermodel?"

Now that's a question you don't hear every day.
