Carla Bruni on music, love and Sarkozy
The Times ^ | 7/13/2008 | John Follain

Rock gods have fallen at her feet. But now that she is married to Nicolas Sarkozy, is politics threatening to cramp Carla Bruni-Sarkozy’s style? In her frankest interview yet, she sings her heart out

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy strides out into the afternoon sunshine on her terrace and throws up her hands in welcome, shouting “John!” and kissing me on both cheeks. I’m taken aback: I’ve interviewed her twice in two years, but that was before she become France’s première dame. She is dressed in tight blue jeans and plain white T-shirt, her wedding ring the only jewellery.

The Parisian home of the supermodel-turned-singer and wife of President Nicolas Sarkozy is tucked away at the top of a secluded alley in a chic area near Bois de Boulogne. Policemen in plain clothes sit in two unmarked cars by a big rust-coloured door, which opens to large 1950s two-storey house with a garden screened by tall bamboos. The terrace is lined with Italian-style terracotta vases of olives and palm trees, as well as jasmine and a giant magnolia tree. She hasn’t moved out of her home, where she has lived the past three years, since marrying Sarkozy in February; he lives with her here, and hold family gatherings at the presidential Elysée Palace at weekends.

Carla immediately uses the familiar tu form of address, takes the bunch of flowers I’ve brought her and leads the way into her smart designer kitchen. Hitching a buttock onto the edge of a counter, she stretches to get a vase out of a cupboard. She fishes out of the fridge a small bottle of Mexican Corona beer for herself and a Perrier for me, says “See you later” to the two publicists from her record label, and walks through to the sitting room.

Sarkozy keeps loving women who just can’t shut up.

"British men have something special" that sets them apart from their European counterparts, according to Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the French first lady – "their love of dressing up in women’s clothes."

Bruni is talking about the reporter, himself. Sometimes, Bruni laughs at the media, too.

This Sarkozy has become a parody with his infatuation for big mouth babes and his pathetic demands to cram the EU down the throats of the pitiful citizens...as well as his soft power BS regarding that FARC Socialist that was released. He is a fraud, IMO.

There are some who say Sarkozy might be the actual Antichrist.

Yet I cannot find what is worse, his woman’s loose tongue or the man’s yellow belly?

She strikes me as a seriously weird, freaky Euro-Fruitloop.
