FEMME LIBRE

Ever since Nicolas Sarkozy won the French election and became Le President, the French and European public have been wondering about his wife. Mme_sarkozy_2

Everyone was asking questions. After all, a couple of years ago she had run off to New York with a business executive (male of course). Tongues wagged but her "petite affaire" didn’t have the slightest effect on her husband’s political success.

But then, the French are very tolerant of these things; it’s said that even the Mistresses have mistresses in France.

In the United States or Canada of course that would have been a huge scandal and the media would have disembowelled both husband and wife and likely the lover as well…hanging their entrails out on the front pages for all to see.

Not in France.

It’s now apparent that Mme Sarkozy will be quite active in a number of ways and apparently Me Sarkozy doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight with Mme. Today she is in Libya trying to persuade Muammar Gaddhafi to release a group of nurses and doctors who have been falsely accused of causing an outbreak of Aids in a Libyan childrens’ hospital.

She will likely succeed and no doubt in the future, we are going to hear a great deal more about

her.
