Scandal Du Jour....No! Really...

Francois Hollande 'affair' will overshadow policy shift

"French newspapers warned Saturday that President Francois Hollande's alleged affair with an actress risked overshadowing his much-anticipated announcement of a new tack in efforts to kindle growth and create jobs.

Whilst largely defending the unmarried Hollande's right to a private life, national and regional dailies admitted the hundreds of journalists at his bi-annual press conference on Tuesday will only have one question in mind."

It wouldn't be France without a good sex scandal. And just when he was about to do something to correct his economic blunders.

Makes things easy for journalists anyway.
