The French poltician was a possible candidate for the 2012 elections. Now he just got busted for allegedly trying to rape a chambermaid in a New York hotel.
Frankly I don't think it's a big loss for the Socialist Party of France (their more liberal and social democratic, not hardcore socialism as the name would imply), as I think they would do far better with someone like Ségolène Royal. She's pretty hot for someone who's almost 60.
