Attention French people - we don't really care about anything your President actually has to say, we just all want to fuck his wife

fair

Co-signed, Norwegian media.

Have Franco-Norwegian relations suddenly become better than they have been for 400 years as well then? Even the most xenophobic of British newspapers hearts the French now, see how much closer together this brings us?

You'd think no-one had ever seen an attractive woman before

hahahaha thread-title-as-truth bomb

You'd think no-one had ever seen an attractive woman before

It's been a good long while since there's been a major head of state with a knock-out wife, though.

except she seemed to frump it up for her trip here. to fit in perhaps?

Isn't the President of Syria's wife a bit of a sort?

Or is it the Queen of Jordan I'm thinking of?

pages & pages of crappy crap (e.g.: Dave Bennett, Relationship Expert)

u mad. i know what ur saying but dude.

She did frump it up

Queen Rania al-Abdullah = hottie

Oh yes.

I'm just saying compared to how tappable she usually is, she appeared decidedly less so this week. where are those controversial nudey images? rowr.

Interesting to see how this all plays in the US when Sarkozy makes it over there (has he gone yet?)

where are those controversial nudey images?

All over the Daily Telegraph I imagine

xpost
Yes. But with Cécilia. Who ducked out of lunch with Bush on account of a "sore throat".

"French First Lady More Than Tames British Press"

The fuss could not cloak fissures in what was choreographed as a bonding between the nations, with the sharpest distinction in their responses to China’s crackdown on unrest in Tibet. Mr. Brown insisted that Britain would not boycott the opening ceremonies of this summer’s Beijing Olympics. But Mr. Sarkozy said he would “reserve the right to say whether I will attend.”

Clutching at straws there, face it Yanks, we prefer Europe now!

The fact that The Sun led with the frontpage story "Sarkozy fucks wife" really is quite something.

It wasn't far off it folks.

"Sarkozy fucks wife in british castle" basically.

GMTV already going on about MENTAL INFIDELITY apropos Gordon B kissing Carla B rather too enthusiastically.

Uh.

(I sometimes forget what The Sun is like)

"Sarkozy fucks wife in british castle" basically

Is that cockney rhyming slang?

Yes. It means "the DHL sale ends Sunday."

if Segolene had got in we'd probably be at war right now

Nothing like a war to cure a credit crunch.

Oh I don't know, Segolene was kinda hot too

Kinda hot for a major party leader. Which is the equivalent of being "kinda hot for a Bolton Wanderers defender".

Major lols at the "I would love to swim naked with Tony Blair" quotes as well.

I haven't read any of the other papers on it, but this struck me as the most despicable piece of writing I have ever read:

at once husky and childlike, like the bits Jane Birkin speaks on the breathy 60s number Je t'aime ... moi non plus. "This is a fundamental cause," she said, pronouncing "cause" as "coze". (... Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins ...) "It reflects the position of women in so many societies". (... Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue ...)

It was on the front page of the Guardian. THE FRONT PAGE. At once undermining the speaker and the cause for which she speaks, in the most blatant terms possible. And, ho ho, what funny accents them foreigns have. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU etc...

Wow, emily, that is fucked up.

no way to speak of this giant of international politics. for shame, guardian, for shame.

doesn't the guardian generally suck these days?

pretty much yeh

no way to speak of this giant of international politics. for shame, guardian, for shame.

Yeah, First Lady of France talks about women's health issues and the Guardian is only imagining her covering a song about loveless fucking. Class all the way.

Sarko looks like a waxwork/ventriloquist's dummy on all those pics.

A German newspaper quoted the father of Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday as saying the French president's wife, Carla Bruni, was expecting a child.

"The two do not want to know the gender in advance, but I'm sure it will be a girl and as beautiful as Carla," the mass-selling Bild newspaper quoted Pal Sarkozy as saying.

Speculation has been widespread in recent weeks that the 43-year-old Italian-born model-turned-singer was pregnant. Sarkozy faces a re-election battle next April.

it's cool his dad's name is pal.

"how are you pal?"

"listen pal, you've had too much to drink."

etc

It was nearly Chum.

and to think they were complaining yesterday about there not being a dedicated french politics thread huh

Old classic post lines revis: "I thought this was a Calum thread.."

There's also a rumour doing the rounds that it's twins. And loads of people are adding that this is going to do wonders for Sarkozy's reelection campaign, him walking around with a baby under his arm, a caring and loving father, talking about those vile socialists who rape maids in plush hotel rooms.

Good luck France!

"The two do not want to know the gender in advance, but I'm sure it will be a girl and as beautiful as Carla," the mass-selling Bild newspaper quoted Pal Sarkozy as saying.

With Sarkozy genes in there I'd say this is unlikely.

Sarkozy faces a re-election battle next April.
