Puerilemay I laugh?sorry .. how old are.. oh well, nevermind
The French people who have elected him to govern and represent them and are paying his salary have a right to express a judgement.
You might not understand but Sarko's attitude is very shocking by French standards. We have a reputation for being libertines and sex-bunnies but the truth is that we remain a conservative Christian society. May I remind you that gay marriages are still not authorised in France? We are socially backward in that way.
The issue is not Sarko dating Carla, it is the complete lack of decorum in their attitude. The guy gets upset because the POPE would not officially receive his gf. Is he INSANE? He did check his texts during his audience with the pope; he cancels meetings to be with her; he pretends his privacy is off limits but then wax lyrical about his love for her in the official presidential conference; he shoves her under every body's nose then say 'I don't give a sh*t what anybody thinks'. The guy has been acting like a raving lunatic.
Mitterrand, Chirac, etc. were cheating on their wives like mad but we never saw anything, they kept the presidential prestige intact. That's what the French expect. Unlike the Americans who like to believe their leaders are saints, we French know they are not, but expect them to be discreet about it.
And he definitely invites the media in is private life. The guy has power over the press, he did have the Paris Match editor-in-chief fired for publishing a picture of his wife and her lover, and he is friend with the top honcho of the biggest TV channels in France, so trust me if he did not want to be on the cover of every magazine and on every news flash, he would not.
You're the one who seems obsessed really, but for the record I am as appalled as you by the attacks on Carla's morality. On Yahoo France forums, horrible things are written about her, truly hateful and misogynistic things. I do not condone that at all. What mostly bother me is her duplicity and the tackiness of her relationship with Sarko.
These two have made France an international laughing stock. I hope if they marry they take a cue on the Regans on how to display your love with taste and dignity.
OK, rant over. These two, I swear...
, I just read the first two lines of your reply, enough to know that I don't care about your opinion 'cause I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO so I guess you have wasted your time, better luck next time.
