Sarkozy's Split

By Cernig

There goes Bush's new BBF in Europe, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, getting a divorce from his wife of 11 years. Maybe she just didn't like the way French presidents all seem to have an obligatory mistress, presumably issued by French intelligence from their secret warehouse of discreetly glamorous mature women.

Well, he did promise to uphold traditional French family values...

The French won't care - they don't demand their politicians be paragons of personal virtue with politically accomodating spouses. But what's going to be fun is watching the American social conservative set falling over themselves to ignore what should, by their own rhetoric, be a major sin in order to keep glad-handing a White House favorite.
