France recently elected the conservative (drunk) Nicolas Sarkozy to follow the controversial Jacques Chirac. If our own President sees promise in him, you know its bad news. Though there is a bright side to the new French leader, its his wife. Cecilia has been tantalizing the press across the pond with her very non-traditional ways, including a snub at George Bush.
From Yahoo News:
President Nicolas Sarkozy travelled alone to meet George W. Bush and his family at their Atlantic holiday home after Cecilia -- staying just an hour away at a US lakeside resort -- bowed out due to a throat ailment.
The US leader said he was "disappointed" but understanding after Cecilia called Laura Bush at the last minute to excuse herself, but the change of plan sounded a false note in what was billed as a rare personal get-together.
She was photographed later Sunday taking a stroll in town with two friends. Nicolas Sarkozy, meanwhile, was seen wearing earphones and jogging on a lakeside path with a seven-strong entourage.
I would personally rather be with friends than step anywhere near the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport. So there's no blame towards her from this corner. If you have to use the "sore throat" line to get out of something you hate doing (i.e. work, school, seeing the Bushies) then its just got to be done.
