une first-class hoot

Guilty pleasure, but pleasure nonetheless -- this column about Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron, the newly-anointed first couple of France, had me laughing out loud. And it's not that she's 24 years older than her husband. I may be cussed out for some politically-incorrect gaff, but I am prepared to suffer ... this is too good to pass up:

No one should mind that the French president is 24 years younger than his wife, Brigitte. But the story of their romance? That is a bit weird.
