STEVE PIECZENIK TALKS

Dysfunctional Socialist French President Francois Hollande has Developed Serious “Hard-Ons” for the Wealthy and the Ingenues.

As I have mentioned,   I start my morning newspaper perusal with the NYTimes,  WSJ,  HuffPost, and last but certainly not least,  The New York Post.    Nothing encourages me to smile more than the NY Post headlines and their elegant evisceration of their intended subjects.

After a day of Christie Bashing,   I was somewhat exhausted by my ’fulminating’ blogs.   In an attempt to boost my flagging spirits,   I often pick up the NY Post .   Low and behold,  I was once again inspired to write something that caught my fancy. 

The article was not,  as I had wished in a more whimsical moment,  a paean to personal tranquility and good governance.   The article was entitled as follows and the rest of the story becomes quite apparent:
"Fearing She’s French Toast" NY Post page 11,  yesterday…posted earlier.

  Now,  how can any fiction writer beat that intro?

 

In my wildest moments of salacious thoughts,   I could never imagine that a humdrum socialist French President like Francois Hollande who spends most of his time destroying the French economy by taxing the citizens at 70% would have the time to do anything else???   Clearly,  I was wrong!    I must admit my inability to judge French Presidents for their enviable sexual appetites and accomplishments.

The Post says that Francois had been making love to Julie Gayet,  a 41 year old gorgeous blond movie star.    At the same time,  he had ensconced his primary mistress,  Valerie Trierweiler, 48,  in the official residence at the Elysee Palace.   Poor Valerie was immediately hospitalized upon learning that her Lothario was committed ‘adultery’ [not quite].    She said that she was ‘prepared to forgive him’,  Hollande, 59,  "but she wants to know where she stands."

Apparently,   Trierweiler was no ingenue,  herself.

  She had met Hollande while she was a journalist covering him in the metaphorical sense during his rise [sorry] through the Socialist Party.   However,  the real problem as in most marriages or trysts is never the question of enduring love …. but money…. Honey.

  This problem is slightly more complex:
“Trierweiler has all the taxpayer-financed perks of a first lady,   including the entourage and an office in the madame wing of the Presidential palace .   NOW SHE COULD LOSE IT ALL!” [my emphasis].

But this is just the beginning…..

  This DSK clone,  Francois Hollande had copulated extensively [I am running out of words here] with Trierweiler while Hollande was living "WITH HIS PREVIOUS GIRLFRIEND,  the mother of his four children". [my emphasis].    So true that politics and power were always considered an ‘aphrodisiac’.     We Americans know that the  French are quite “Libertine”,  as they say.

However,   after the expose of the former Dominque Strauss Kahn [DSK],   I had a feeling that the French body politic would temper their collective appetite for political/sexual scandals.   How completely foolish I was!!    DSK had singlehandedly transformed the meaning of “Priapism” ---constant hard-on—from a cursed medical abnormality to an attainable dream for ‘wishful thinkers’. 

Then along comes the Harry Reems of France—Francois Hollande—A Socialist!!    At least DSK,  Chirac,  Sarkozy were right of center.   But I must admit that a socialist was not in my limited purview.

Why was I blindsided?

For the most part,  Hollande grew up in a very upper middle class environment.    He was born in the city of Rouen.    He went to elite private religious and secular schools.    His mother was a social worker.   His father was a prominent ear,  nose and throat Medical Doctor.   They all lived in the very tony suburb of Neuilly-Sur-Seine,  on the outskirts of Paris,   not far from all the major right wing politicians [Sarkozy].

Socialists Politicians are often the scion of the wealthy who could afford the luxury of not having to engage in manual labor or take the risk of building a company.    What better way to feel meaningful and creative than screwing the middle class who were the very organic origins of your own family??

In addition,  Hollande had inherited the French bourgeois indulgence of being able to renounce Roman Catholicism for agnosticism and entrepreneurship for Socialism.    Therefore,   all the free time he had not working was transmuted into a constant stream of ejaculations in love trysts while the French economy tanked.     Now France offers ordinary French worker no chance for jobs,  security or pensions!   If the country continues on this high tax,  no job path- there will be no France left for future generations.
