FYI Carla refers to herself as Carla Sarkozy. It is the media who hyphenates her name.
I am all for women using their maiden name as their middle name, so Carla Bruni Sarkozy looks right to me. I agree that the hyphenated thing is pretentious.
Can we stop trashing Michelle Obama's looks? She has a hard enough time avoiding the judgements of the Gay Fashion Police who do the Math whenever she has to go up against Carla Bruni.
It's childish. It's the kind of thing the Kos Diarists and the DU people did to Laura Bush and Condi Rice for eight frakking years for the sole reason that they were married to or worked for the President of the opposite political party.
Yes, Michelle's a big liberal. So what? It's her husband's policies that are ruining the country: the Middle Class people who voted for him will find that out when they wake up one day to find that their currency is about as well regarded as the Reichsmark used to be. But Michelle? She's merely being a First Lady.
Let's leave it at that. I"m not trying to be a concern troll, as I've been at this site since before the Impeachment days. But let's do something that just makes us look bad.
Best,
Chris
