There Oughta Be a Law (French Politics)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Ségolène Royal's apartment was burgled, and she charged that Sarkozy was behind it. Now a court has awarded Bernard Tapie a large settlement in a lawsuit, and François Bayrou alleges that Sarko is behind that, too. It's a good thing he's a hyperpresident. Otherwise he wouldn't have enough time to get into so much mischief. It is a trifle unseemly, though, for presidential candidates to...

Former French presidential candidate Ségolène Royal recently unleashed a polemic by noting that the French government played "no role whatsoever" in obtaining the freedom of Ingrid Betancourt and the other 14 hostages recently liberated in Colombia.

Ségolène Royal claims Nicolas Sarkozy was behind Paris burglary (The Guardian)

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:46:20 GMT

Today Royal denounced the "violence and vulgarity" of such attacks, saying they reflected the increasingly nasty political atmosphere.

Pity Ségolène Royal: this time in 2006 she was rated the sixth sexiest woman in the entire world by the 'readers' of FHM's ( Should be PLI, surely? ) French edition.
