Sarkozy and Bruni: Another French Revolution!
Just close your eyes and imagine this happening in the USA! But this IS happening in France!!! Former Italian supermodel Carla Bruni finds French people ‘miserable’ and Paris ‘unbearably polluted’ but when it comes to her true love, she thinks that President Nicolas Sarkozy is like ‘Napoleon Bonaparte’.
If this were to happen in the US there would have been another American revolution! But I am sure that in France the people must be quitely sipping their wine and nibbling salad and cheese. Such dramatic incidents reveal interesting characteristics about people — whether they are hyper/hypocritical or just relaxed!!!
Let’s continue with the French & Italian story…”When asked if the famously elegant Paris was a nicer city than London, she said: ‘I don’t think so. I’ve really been surprised at how beautiful London is. And in London you don’t feel the pollution because there are so many parks. In Paris, I live on the edge of the city because it’s the only place where you have green spaces. In the middle of Paris, it’s really hard, really unbearable’. More here…
After British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the other high profile visitor to India this week is French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Unlike Brown’s economic agenda, the focus on his visit seems to be more on whether he’ll bring his girlfriend along.
“Indian officials are scratching their heads over what protocol to follow with the president’s girlfriend, as they have entertained spouses till date. French government has to decide Bruni’s status and if they call her Sarkozy’s companion, she may be treated on par as a spouse.” More here…
India’s leading writer, Shobhaa De (a native version of Jackie Collins) has her opinion. “Confession time: I love Sarko. And I think Carla Bruni, his girlfriend/mistress/ temptress/wife is seriously gorgeous. Sarko is what the French call a chaud lapin. Literal translation? Hot rabbit. In other words, he is unstoppable when it comes to women. His ex-wife insists the man is wild and non-discriminating in his choice of female companions. Does that make him a criminal? Mais, non! That makes him a hero, especially in his own country.” More here…
