Sarkozy Faces Labor and Marital Crises
New York TimesPARIS, Oct. 18 — For President Nicolas Sarkozy, a day does not get much darker than this.
On Thursday, Mr. Sarkozy, the 52-year-old French leader, was reeling from blows on two different domestic fronts: a wave of strikes that swept through France and an official announcement that his 11-year marriage had come to an end.
Shortly after a presidential spokesman, David Martinon, told a hastily called news conference that he had absolutely no comment about his boss’s marriage, the Élysée Palace dropped the bombshell that Mr. Sarkozy and his wife, Cécilia, “announce their separation by mutual consent.” The palace later clarified that the couple “had divorced.”
Looks as if France has their own version of G.W. in office. A new Miserable Failure in the works?
However, I'll take issue with the New York Times headline; I think the marital crises is over, there already having been a divorce.

According to the Brits, who enjoy tracking this sort of thing, the crisis was several years ago but she got a better settlement hanging around until after the election.
Apparently she doesn't like the people she is supposed to hang around with, or the palace, or the parties she would have to attend, and she was no longer all that fond of him. However, she does like money, so she acted like she cared until after the election.
