JOY FOR CARLA ( SARKOZY ) & HER WORLD BODY

New York Post ^ | September 24, 2008 | KATE SHEEHY

French cruller Carla Bruni was one sweet sight everywhere she went in Manhattan yesterday.

The sexy model-turned-singer first performed her duties as France's first lady by attending meetings at the United Nations with her president hubby, Nicolas Sarkozy.

She then left the world leaders to catch up on current events, and enjoyed entertaining reading with the New York Post tucked under her arm.

After returning to her Upper East Side hotel for a quick rest and outfit change out of a demure, pinstriped skirt suit, she reappeared in the evening looking ready to turn plenty of heads.

One of the men in her sights was Mayor Bloomberg, to whom she gave dazzling smile as she entered an Appeal of Conscience Foundation event at The Waldorf-Astoria.

She’s an Italian cruller. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

Interesting how they can love Carla Sarkozy and be wowed by her every move, but absolutely trash our dear Sarah! Some values, these journalists!

CARLA READS THE NEW YORK POST, NOT THE NY SLIMES

[Impy]

Carla’s a lib. Hopefully pillow talk with her husband is minimal, we don’t want him drifting leftward.

[Cincinna]

Not to worry! Sarah Palin was the c9over story in the New York Post today.

Todd Palin and Trig riding the Carousal in Central Park had a front page picture as well.

The more she talks, the faster he goes to sleep, I imagine...

in terms of sheer gorgeousness, Carla gets far more points. In terms of ability to lead, well, Carla gets a good ranking too (loads of men will follow her anywhere), but Palin is on top while Body Odor is far behind

Shame on you for phrasing it that way, shame on me for actually visualizing it.

Damn you. ;)

She is a pretty woman, but not exactly a virtuous one. What is the Scripture verse about a lovely woman who has no sexual discretion being like a pig with a jewel in its nose . . .? Perhaps some better Bible scholar than I can refresh our memory.

I'd dispute that. Recall that Sarah has deliberately chosen those glasses and that hairstyle to make herself look less attractive and more businesslike. If she took those glasses off and chose a sexy hairstyle, she would devastate Mme. Sarkozy.

[Rebelbase]

France, I see your Carla Bruni and raise you one Sarah Palin.

[freekitty]

Don’t you just love the way they try to make a has been singer into something wonderful.

[AnAmericanMother]

Proverbs 11:22:

As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

[ottbmare]

Thanks. I think in that proverb “discretion” was meant to have connotations of moral behavior.

[garyhope]

Personally, I think Sarah is much hotter and more interesting than Carla. I mean I'm happy for Sarkozy, but I think Sarah has a lot more depth and strength than Carla.

Sarah is dependable, good for her word and could cover your back. Sarah is strength personified.

Sarah is going to be the first female POTUS. And we'll all be better off for it.

Sarah is the real deal. She is SO grounded in pragmatic and functional reality.

[Citizen Blade]

I think Ms. Bruni is better looking, but I’ve always been partial to the urban, sophisticated, slightly decadent bad girls (like my wife).

But we’re electing a Vice President, not picking who we want to date.

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, I don't have word one of Hebrew, but in the LXX (Septuagint), the version of OT Scripture that Jesus used, the word is kakofroni. Without my lexicon, that roughly translates as "evil-minded" - a fool is somebody who is afroni, without mind.

So generally, yes, moral behavior is probably implicated here.
