She said in an interview last month that politics disgusts her. But today Brigitte Bardot announced that she could be running for French president at the next election in 2012.
The former actress, now 76, shocked fans in 1973 when she retired to become an animal rights activist. Now she has been asked by France's Ecology Alliance party to challenge Nicolas Sarkozy for the country's leadership. The party campaigns for animal rights and against the ritual slaughter of livestock by Muslims for halal meat.
Bardot has now written to President Sarkozy telling him she may run against him because he 'took her for an idiot' by not keeping his manifesto promises to outlaw the traditional Muslim treatment of animals.
She wants a law making it compulsory to give animals anaesthetic before their throats are slit in keeping with Islamic teaching.

I respect anybody who does their own thing. She has been a world class dingbat, even by French standards, for years but the good entertaining kind. I would prefer her maybe walking across France to make her point rather then running for office.
Rachel Welch?
She used to hold a cherished place in my heart, but a year or two, she showed herself to be no better than any american DemboSult...Broke my youthful hearts idolized memory of her. I don’t care anymore..what she says.
Sounds like she's on an honorable mission.
WTH happened to the skin on her neck. Sure, we all get a bit saggy there with age, but that just looks really abnormal.
How old is she?
if she promised to roll their retirement age back to 60 she would probably win
Just...damn...
