Poop Man Bob Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 To quote Mel Brooks, "It's good to be the king." French President Marries Model By ANGELA DOLAND Associated Press Writer PARIS — They had a glitzy, jet-setting courtship, but when it came time for the wedding, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and former supermodel Carla Bruni opted for a simple, classic ceremony — and the bride wore white. Sarkozy, 53, and Bruni, 40, were married Saturday in a small private ceremony at the presidential Elysee Palace, less than three months after they reportedly first met, and less than four months after his divorce from the previous first lady, Cecilia. The newlyweds said in a statement only that they tied the knot "in the presence of their families in the strictest privacy." The mayor who performed the ceremony filled in the details. "The bride wore white; she was ravishing, as usual," Francois Lebel, mayor of Paris' eighth arrondissement, or neighborhood, told Europe-1 radio. The groom wore a suit and tie, and he "wasn't bad either," Lebel said. About 20 friends and family members attended the 20-minute official ceremony in an Elysee drawing room, Lebel said. He referred to Sarkozy and Bruni as "young newlyweds" and said the wedding showed "great simplicity and apparently a lot of affection between the spouses." Under French law, couples must marry before a mayor to make their union official. Usually weddings take place at a city hall, with an official wedding announcement published beforehand, but Sarkozy and Bruni apparently had a dispensation to maintain their privacy. On a busy day, Sarkozy squeezed the ceremony in amid official business. Addressing a crisis in the former French colony of Chad, where rebels penetrated the capital, Sarkozy also called a meeting at the Elysee Palace and spoke by telephone with Chad's president. As of Saturday evening, no images of the ceremony had leaked to media. The small wedding contrasted with their highly publicized romance — which surprised many French, accustomed to presidents keeping their love lives under wraps. At a news conference in January, Sarkozy revealed that his relationship with the blue-eyed singer and former model was "serious" and hinted that wedding plans were in the works, though he did not reveal a date. Sarkozy and Bruni carried out their courtship in such public locations as Disneyland Paris and the ruins of Petra, Jordan. The tabloids even showed the couple at an Egyptian beach resort, Bruni clad in a tiny black bikini, Sarkozy in trunks, gold chain and Ray-Ban sunglasses. Sarkozy's approval ratings dropped while they were dating — in part, analysts say, because older, more traditional voters were put off by the budding romance and by Sarkozy's glitzy style. During their courtship, Sarkozy was nicknamed the "bling-bling president" by the media as the couple flew in a private jet borrowed from a billionaire investor and reportedly lavished each other with expensive presents. Their relationship proved tricky for protocol planners in foreign countries Sarkozy visited. Before a visit to Saudi Arabia, a senior official in the Gulf state urged Sarkozy to respect conservative Islamic culture by leaving his girlfriend at home. She did not accompany him. Being married will end such concerns. "First off, he wanted to (tie the knot), and it also helps clarify things," Patrick Balkany, a lawmaker and friend of Sarkozy's, told RTL radio. Former first lady Bernadette Chirac, congratulating the couple, said being president is easier with the support of a spouse. Sarkozy was not the first French president to marry in office: Gaston Doumergue tied the knot at the Elysee Palace in 1931. The wedding was the third for Sarkozy, who has three sons. It was the first for Bruni, an Italian-born heiress whose mother is a concert pianist and whose late father was an industrialist at the head of a tire company, as well as a composer. Bruni grew up in France, where her family fled for fear of the Red Brigades, a left-wing terrorist group active in Italy in the 1970s. As a young woman, the brunette with high cheekbones had a major modeling career and the love life to go with it. Bruni dated rockers Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, tycoon Donald Trump and actor Vincent Perez. She has a young son, Aurelien, from a relationship with philosophy professor Raphael Enthoven. In interviews well before she began dating Sarkozy, Bruni often talked freely of her love life, reportedly telling Madame Figaro magazine that she was "bored to death by monogamy." Bruni has reinvented herself as a singer in recent years. French news reports have said the Elysee Palace is being fit with a recording studio for the new first lady. Link.

Ferris Bueller Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm becoming more convinced that Sarkozy is a giant douchebag. And I don't mean a French-style douche (shower/bath), but a fucking bag full of shitty sperm-laden ass water. I guess the French only have themselves to blame. Kids in the ghettos are rioting while he's on hiatus for three-quarters of the first year of his term and then marries a haggard model.

H. Lecter Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The primary reason for the riots is police reform.. the socio-economic/employment problems in the banlieues are reflective of france as a whole.. they are just as a matter of course, worse or perhaps more evident in the lower income areas.. And Sarkozy is the best chance the country has had in over a decade of getting these problems not only addressed, but fixed.. from border to border. I don't give a fuck about his personal life, or his status in business.. if anything it adds merit to his position as the premier economist and statesmen.. honesty, brashness and a sense of business and self are dear traits for a leader of such a nation. This is a president, not some hub-bub celebrity that we can push over because of some bullshit tabloids spew about their personal life..

EGG Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 sarkozy is a totally fake dude. All he has always wanted is to be the king of france. He promised so much during the presidential campaign ( and during the previous years) and now he do nothing ( except raising his income by 175%) in fact he can do nothing because this country is completly fucked up... no future.. i think they told that only 20% of the youth are optimistic about their future.. Even the people of his camp/party become to be upset by all the bullshits he says everyday. He spoke about a new moral politic and what have he done ? visit Putin (his " friend") invit Khadafi ( who played him so hard that was pathetic) etc.. I think you can compare the situation like if the US would have elected W.Bush for a third time believing that he is capable to improve the situation.
