From Maureen Dowd:
“The French are different from you and me.
Yes, they have Sarkozy.
And they have Carla.
And they have “the Carla effect,” as it’s known in Paris.
If an American first lady, or would-be first lady, described herself as a “tamer of men” and had a “man-eating” past filled with naked pictures, Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, sultry prone CD covers, breaking up marriages, bragging that she believes in polygamy and polyandry rather than monogamy, and having a son with a married philosopher whose father she had had an affair with, it would take more than an appearance on “The View” to sweeten her image.
It’s hard to imagine the decibel level on Fox News if Michelle Obama put out a CD this summer, as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is, with songs featuring lyrics like “I am a child/despite my 40 years/despite my 30 lovers/a child”; and this song, “Ma came”: “You are my junk/more deadly than Afghan heroin/more dangerous than Colombian white. …/My guy, I roll him up and smoke him.”
Or if Michelle gave an interview, as Carla did in a new book, “La Véritable Histoire de Carla et Nicolas,” revealing that she fell in love with her husband for his many fertile brains.
“I didn’t expect someone so funny and so alive,” she said, recalling their blind date at a dinner party.
“I was seduced by his…”

“The president of France is a pedophile, then? If Barack Obama’s black wife said these things, Obama would be thrown in some Compton municipal jail for life.”

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Pens Glorious Ode to Husband: ‘You Are My Junk’
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the French First “Babe,” is prepping her new musical album for release, and some newspaper has already gotten a preview! The collection is titled “Comme si de rien n’était,” or as Native Americans call it, “maize.” It features all sorts of great songs about how she’s slept with 30 people, and how husband Nicolas is like heroin. As in, he’s wonderful! Nicolas Sarkozy is a metaphor for “Addictive Illegal Drugs,” or vice versa, who cares, this is what Carla sings:
Among the 14 tracks is a song called “Ma Came (My Junk)” – equating her intense love to a Class A drug. Written two years ago, before she met Mr. Sarkozy, it is nevertheless dedicated to her husband.
“You are my junk. More deadly than Afghan heroin. More dangerous than Colombian white (powder),” she sings, adding: “My guy, I roll him up and smoke him.”
She also sings about her many lovers: “I am a child. Despite my forty years. Despite my thirty lovers. A child.”
The president of France is a pedophile, then? If Barack Obama’s black wife said these things, Obama would be thrown in some Compton municipal jail for life.
