Today we find her again in a usual spot, front page of major newspaper, in this case the Wall Street Journal, where she is seen with her new public companion Francois Hollande, the newly elected president of France.
She seems to be at a bit of cross-roads, directing the flow on the red carpet that she and Mr. Hollande find themselves on. Perhaps she is tutoring Francois on how to avoid Joan Rivers and daughter Melissa, who usually seem to pop-up whenever a red carpet appears.
The caption to the picture reads what you might expect, but adds that Chancellor Merkel is meeting the French President in Paris, despite Mr. Hollande's plane being delayed after being struck by lightning. The Rivers people deny they had anything to do with creating the lightning.
It would be historically inaccurate for the producers of 'Downton Abbey' to somehow work Chancellor Merkel into meeting Lord Granthan on the moors in the coming season. However, the Lord's mother-in-law, Shirley Maclaine, claims to have personally survived several lightning strikes in prior incarnations.
Perhaps Ol' Shirl can be fast-forwarded through the English countryside to a red carpet with Joan, Angela, and Angelina, the other woman who the Chancellor has usurped as the most photographed woman. Joan of course could supply that lightning.
