That was before Nicolas Sarkozy, who never saw a habit he didn’t want to overturn, became president 14 months ago. Now we have another beautiful singer, who happens to be his wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, strumming these lines to him on her new album:
“I gave you my body, my soul and my chrysanthemum/ For I am yours/ you are my lord, you are my darling/ you are my orgy/ you are my folly.”
Old and settled in its ways? I think not. America’s first lady may love her man, but not like this. France has stepped out of hibernation on amphetamines.
What?
But this man is a tonic to his country and the most important European leader of his time.
The most important man in Europe in the past 14 months? What?
Because you can’t build a Europe that’s divided toward the United States, as Iraq illustrated, his pro-Americanism has aided E.U. cohesiveness.
What?
In the same way, his warmth toward Israel has given France the room to emerge as a credible Middle Eastern intermediary.
What?
Maybe my salmonella is acting up again but I do not understand anything in this.
