I must say I agree with Bremner. I was asking the same question. Her baby is barely 5 days old and she leaves it alone - the first weeks of live are the most important for the mother/child bond, can not bring up much understanding for her, though I absolutely believe that it is possible for women to have both, children and career, but this is overdoing it. Besides she gives a bad example.

She should have used her entire maternity leave entitlement. Now assholes in France will be able to tell new mothers "if Dati could go back to work within a week, so can you".

That is just terribly reckless. The only way to interpret that is that she thinks her job is more important than her newborn child!

Also:

The names of other possible fathers are still circulating. José-Maria Aznar, the former Spanish Prime Minister, is first among them despite his public denials last autumn.

Uh, I hope the baby takes after the mother...

I'm going to start an Internet rumour right here: DSK is the father!

Of course, she would be in quite good (or bad) company by that standard...

Word on the street is that her job (Justice minister) is indeed in danger: she has managed to antagonize just about every magistrates and lawyers in France, by pushing "reforms" and by her very confrontational style (copied from her mentor, N.Sarkozy).
Sarkozy, it's been whispered, is getting tired of the endless conflicts she generates (he doesn't like competition?) and was reported to prepare to dump her...

How is that possible when DSK is so obviously impotent?
