Newsweek: Management
Photos: Love, French Style
They’ve been canoodling at the Pyramids and parading through Petra. Now, a mere three months after his divorce, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has coyly signaled that he will marry supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni. ('It’s serious,' he says.) Is France’s new leader head-over-heels in love or just swept away by the politics of passion? Images from a--thus far--brief affair.

Comment: America is a sex negative Puritanical culture which is both obsessed with and repelled by the very notion of human sexuality. In America all women are judged in terms o the Madonna/prostitute complex. That is a woman is either :"loose" i.e/ a slut,whore, 'ho, skank, or nymphomaniac which means that she embraces her sexuality and celebrates her sexuality just as a man would--no more no less. Or she is a lady: i.e. classy, conservative and seemingly asexual. It's ludricrous that 40 years after the so-called sexual revolution , this double standard in sexual mores STILL exists. It should not. Even more ludicrous than the sex negativity of new millenium American society is the bizarre notion that a politician's choice of a wife (or husband) has ANYTHING to do with how well he or she will do the job. It's sad. And more than a little frightening that Americans are so narrow minded, sexually repressed, misogynistic, and downright stupid. Perhaps, as Kinsey supposedly once comented, it would have been better if the Puritans had srated home.

Comment: To realnature: Agree. It would be good to see her do something more productive than behave like a teeny bopper. Princess Diana was beautiful, too, but she was also an asset to her country by being a humanitarian. Beauty fades eventually, and when it does, you had better have something more to offer.

Comment: I see a beautiful woman and an attractive man, presumably in love. Leave him alone to run the country and her to be his mate. She doesn't have to "prove" herself by "saving the children" or having some other political agenda. Leave them alone to be in love. And the black panties barely showing in picture 3.................get a hobby!!
