I think she resembles Madame Defarge much more than she resembles and aristocrat.
I said: “I think she resembles Madame Defarge much more than she resembles and aristocrat.”
I should have specified that I was referring to Michelle, not Carla Bruni.
It also should have been “an aristocrat”, not “and aristocrat.”
Excellent point. Perhaps the Empress Theodora might fit Mrs. Zero: From Wikipedia:
“Justinian is depicted as cruel, venal, prodigal and incompetent; as for Theodora, the reader is treated to a detailed and titillating portrayal of vulgarity and insatiable lust, combined with shrewish and calculating mean-spiritedness”
Perfect description of the current occupants of the White House!!!
Nah, Madame De Farge was a cackling old hen compared to Carla. But I don’t see what the hub bub is all about. The wives of French leaders have always been like this. And to a lesser degree most French women.
