Surely everytime he makes a reference like that to Royal he must push a few more people - especially women -  to decide to go and vote for her just to punish his arrogance? "interesting"?

What else is he going to do but talk down on her?  Even if he defeats Sarkozy, which is, by no stretch of the imagination, a done deal, he has to compete with someone who has probably -- I don't know Villepin's story, so I can't say for sure -- had to work twenty times harder than he has to get to this point, judging a brief reading of her Wiki article a few weeks ago.

Being conservatives, Villepin or Sarkozy, whomever wins, will no doubt spend the next five months taking subtle -- hell, perhaps not so subtle -- stabs at the fact that the Commies have given the nod to a woman.

Plus, while I give Domi some credit on the hair, Royal is easily the better looking of the two, so you've got to know he's intimidated.
