    Can you imagine how even more gorgeous Carla Bruni would be if she hadn't been convinced to undergo rhinoplasty?

    The French will get the EPIC WIN when Vogue or somebody does the inevitable photo feature on Carla Bruni and Michelle Obama during a state visit.

    C.B. has to be a major distraction. You know Sarkozy has missed state meetings to make some passionate love as the French do, which I learned about as a child from pepe Le Pew cartoons:

    @forwardmotion: Pepe Le Pew was also a big influence on my perception of normative heterosexual courtship. That and Gomez Adams's "Tish, you spoke French!" shtick made it so I couldn't bed a guy unless he kissed up and down my arm for a good ten minutes.

    Ok, if Obama can turn the Europeans against each other then that is worth something in my book. Pesky Europeans!

    oh, the french are way more forward than we ever will be, even after the post-election lovefest. i mean, have you googled "Carla Bruni Nude" anytime lately? we'll never have nude first lady picks.


    come to think of it, i don't think we want them.
