this is the 'first lady' of france?

are you serious?
i mean, i know there has been some talk of sarah palin and VPILFs, but, for real?? i'm not saying that world markets wouldn't be in turmoil if we had a former model in the white house, but maybe if american politics wasn't all about "wholesome american values" and making sure everybody knew the candidates eat hamburgers (not arugula) and want to go fly-fishing, we could actually get some shit done around here.
