Looks too much like Camille Paglia on the left (where *else* would she be?) for my taste.
Cheers!

Rumours that French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are both having affairs are gaining momentum in France.
The suggestion that the couple were both committing adultery first emerged on Twitter, the microblogging website. It was followed by a report in the Sunday newspaper le Journal du Dimanche.
The first 'tweet' claimed that Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy had become romantically involved with Benjamin Biolay, a musician and a winner at France's recent Victoires de la Musique awards.
It then claimed that the jilted Mr Sarkozy had swiftly found solace in the arms of his 40-year-old ecology minister Chantal Jouanno, also a French karate champion.
French web magazine suchablog.com alleged that Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy had been a close friend of Biolay for many years and was now unofficially living with him at his flat in Paris.
The rumours were given extra weight after being reported in an blog on the website of Le Journal du Dimanche.
The paper wrote: "It's the gossip of the moment that could become the story of the year.
"A romance is said to have started a few weeks ago between the First Lady of France and music award winner Benjamin Biolay.
"The rumour started on Twitter and is now on blogs and websites everywhere."
The Journal du Dimanche added: "It says the presidential marriage is breathing its last breaths. Carla Bruni is in love with Benjamin Biolay and the president has found solace with Chantal Jouanno."
The same story has also been reported by other established news sites including Yahoo News France, Le Post and Agoravoxtv, as well as TV news channel i-Tele.
It is the first time since Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy and Mr Sarkozy met at a Paris dinner party in November 2007 that there have been repeated rumours suggestions the marriage is in crisis.

That’s what I was thinking. They thought we were crazy for even caring about Clinton.

She’s “in love” with that other guy? How juvenile! Can’t Bruni and Sarko just leave emotion out of it and keep to the time-honored French tradition of “cinq à sept”?
Sounds like Klintoon and Hillary. Remember Vince Foster?

Interesting. Thanks for the ping. SHEESH.
How dare we apply our own cultural norms.
Thanks, Moonman62, for the great quotes.
I don’t know why these people bother to get married. They sure do get bored really fast.
A 43 year old woman who can’t remain faitful to her husband after less than two years of marriage. What is wrong with these people? I know they are French, but Jeez!
He should change the locks at the Palace.
