Sexual Politics

Here in River City we are lazing into the weekend.

Mistress took the day off yesterday, and spent some QT with our cute Co-Ed.  I caught up on work at the office, though it was definitely a "dress down" day for me.

Mistress got her early morning worship, and more when I got home.  And Slave was rewarded with some nice, sweaty sexual gratification after a bike ride.

But our Friday night was thrown off a bit by the presence of our cute Ce-Ed. She's been hovering a little too close to the mother-ship since the school year ended. When we settled down with our "picnic" dinner to watch an old but cute movie, LeDivorce, set in Paris - lots of nice shots of Kate Hudson in expensive lingerie being "seduced" by an older, more experienced French politician - she decided to watch with us, settling into the spot on the couch where old Mick usually gets a chance to fondle Mistress's clean shaven folds when the spirit, or a lull in the plot, moves me.

Hmmmm.  Three can be a crowd, particularly when she's your daughter, as opposed to your wife's lover.

The Parisian themes did get me thinking this morning about a news story that has been developing these last few weeks.  Mick is a little too obsessed with politics, and since my college days, when France was teetering on the edge of a second Revolution, I've been intrigued by  French political news. Toss in sex and some hot babes and well..... it's worth talking about here isn't it.

The story is about the new French President, Francois Hollande, his former "companion", mother of his children and the last Presidential candidate of his Socialist Party, Segolene Royal, and his new "companion", Valerie Trierweiler.

Roll back the clock 6 to about 6 years ago, and Francois was a bit pudgier and the dutiful political spouse of Segolene as she tried but failed to make history as the first female President of the French Republic.  It's not like he was a male version of Ann Romney, staying at home and supervising the staff.  I suppose he was more like the male version of Hillary, with a career in Parliament and a leadership role in the Socialist Party. But still, very second banana, as his wife ultimately lost to Nicolas Sarkozy.

But as it turns out, even before the votes were counted, Francois and Valerie, a well known French political reporter - think a younger Barbara Walters with nice legs - had taken up with one another.

It all seemed a little too familiar here - when Mistress and I first got involved back in the era of the Gipper (who would be seen as a RINO in today's GOP, but don't get me started), I was married to a political candidate myself, running her campaign.... successfully I might add.  But clearly the heart led me elsewhere.

And that seems to have happened to Francois too. The story goes that Valerie whipped him into shape - figuratively we presume - he shed some weight, sharpened his "message", was fortunate when Dominique Strauss Kahn, the leading candidate for President on the Socialist side landed in a rather messy sex scandal, and now finds himself in the Elysee Palace, with the lovely Valerie by his side.

 There were some fetching photos of Valerie in the press as she came to the US with the other European "first ladies" for that big NATO meeting last week. (Those are her shoes above, at the White House).

Of course, Mistress has also whipped her Slave into shape, though I have no political ambitions to speak of..... just the ambition to worship and fulfill her every desire. And of course, we got married when the law allowed, igniting some local scandal at the time, which has long since faded away.

It's amusing to think that the French apparently had no qualms with these goings on, drawing the line only at DSK's sloppiness about it all.  Can you imagine the outrage if a  new President in this country moved into the White House with his "companion" -- although I suppose if it was Hillary and she dumped Bill on the campaign trail for someone fresh and new, there would be a certain understanding.  Maybe Ellen DeGeneres?  Vive le Difference!


But now there is talk that Francois is planning to "pop the question", if only to avoid problems with sleeping arrangements on foreign trips to places like Saudi Arabia.It's a little disappointing to consider.


It does make you wonder.... will the next development be Valerie taking an extra lover, who shares dinner and beds in the Palace?  If so, maybe Francois needs to blog about it, under an assumed name of course.
