He has a new girl friend. None other than Carla Bruni. I have her CD and love it. I think she has a bit of a rep as a home wrecker though.

Yes, but Carla can sing and play the guitar. LOL.

Well, I'm sure Happy has talents that would send the computerized censor into overload . . . so there!

What would Happy want to do with Sarko. He likes to take his dates to Paris Disney. Our Happy deserves a romantic place! Down with Sarko, as far as I'm concerned!

framboiseerose - I went to Disneyland in Southern California in 1955, the year it opened; haven't been back since (that's 52 years). A grown man, in his position, taking a date to Paris Disneyland sounds a little Mickey Mouse to me.

Forget about sweet Mickey Mouse. I'd say that Sarko seems like a_______, which is a rhyme of the second word in Donald Duck. ;D

Arrived home and there was a story on my computer entitled "Carla Bruni: France's Next First Lady ?"
Most of the story was attributed to her mother Marisa Borini according to a front page article in Le Parisien.
Anybody have an update ?

I read a silly novel written by a girl who claimed Carla stole her longtime boyfried after she had been living with the boy's father. I cannot remember the name of the book or whether it was fact of fiction. It was several pages of "poor me". I don't think I even finished it. At the time I had no idea who she was, so maybe that was the reason I was having trouble staying interested. Now, I'm trying to remember the name of the darn book. Oh, Well. Later someone gave me her CD. I happened to be driving back and forth to Palm Springs alot at the time (dad hospitalized) so I played it over and over to practice french. She is sort of like a folk singer.

I just googled her and see that it was the husband that she stole, about which the book was written not the boyfriend. Guess my memorie is not what it used to be. I can't believe she prefers Sarko over Kevin Costner. The jilted wife is named Justine Levy, if you are all that interested. I'm sure I got the book from Amazon.

Last Sunday, I was standing on the r. Mouffetard waiting for some of the other ladies to finish in a shop. I happened to be standing in front of a large poster with news of Sarko's and Bruni's romance. I got the biggest kick out of watching people walking down the street...they ALL read it! Men and women alike. It was amazing! I watched for the longest time and I even called SE over to take notice. The story really seems to have captured the French people's interest. And, at that point, the story was several weeks or a month old.

Suzanne, the story is true . I watched Justine Levy presenting her book in a book TV programm several years ago . She talked how much of a severe depression she had been in after Carla stole her husband, and it was quite obvious that the book was step number two after depression : VENGEANCE ;D ! The fact that that book was quite clear about who was who (meaning that Carla was the b*tch of the story, who went holidaying with the dad and came back home with the son) and that J. Lévy is the daughter of a very famous gauche-caviar thinker was enough to make quite a noise about this book .

You know, it's really hard to believe that in this day and age people still accept the notion that a husband/wife/SO is some sort of object with no will of his/her own, who can be "stolen" (implying they were forced to leave against their own will, or would not have left but for "the b*tch" who "stole" them). Personally, I think no one ever left who didn't want to leave - so to people like Justine I just want to say "enough with the self pity and blame, already!"

Randy, all it would take for me to watch is to have it filmed on location . . . . ;D

Actually, I'm sure I only read this book because I saw the word Paris associated with it. Unfortunately the author rarely left her apartment during her time of mouning her lost husband, so I really did not get that Paris fix I get from from my Cara Black novels.

HELPPP !!!! Several newspapers are all about a proposal from Sarko to Carla . I let you meditate upon this quote from a friend of the president : "Carla, actually, she's the Rolex of the female sex . He (Sarko) is too happy, too bling-bling" ("bling-bling" is THE new trendy word, since it is so well adapted to Sarko's lifestyle, meaning flashy, show-off) . I am considering seeking for political asylum in the US . Even Bush is better than this shame .
