PARIS (AFP) - French Finance Minister Michel Sapin on Friday (April 22) denied "slanderous" accusations that he pulled the exposed elastic of a journalist's underwear as she bent over in his presence.

The authors of the book, journalists Stephanie Marteau and Aziz Zemouri, recount the incident between the minister and another unnamed journalist during the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos in 2015.
They write that the journalist had bent over to pick up a pen when a "minister ... the occupant of Bercy (where the finance ministry is based)" said: "Ah, but what are you showing me here" and snapped the elastic of her unintentionally exposed underwear.

According to the authors of the book, Sapin's office brushed the incident off at the time, saying: "It was a schoolyard prank and the journalist flew off the handle."
A member of Sapin's team is quoted in the book saying: "He doesn't understand the fuss and is very surprised at the turn the case has taken."

So what’s wrong with twanging panties? (if they’re on a female)
While the job of “finance minister” probably could be done by a bright thirteen-year-old boy, there are still reasons why it’s a bad idea.
This could be a real “wedge” issue, if he were to take it to the extreme.
Mr. De Granmont is way touchier than that:
Don’t worry, she likes him in another show.
He could drape himself in velvet. Not The Velvet Fog. That’s another show.
He should be sitting on a park bench
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Oddly the straits times is one of the best papers in the world for serious reporting.
And the flowers bloom like madness, in the spring...
[I dare anyone to find a finer word-painting than *that*]
:D
..groan..
I believe he does that drying in the cold sun.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week, try the fish...
