PARIS: Justice Minister Rachida Dati of France, one of the stars of President Nicolas Sarkozy's cabinet, announced Wednesday that she was pregnant but declined to identify the father. The daughter of North African immigrants, Dati, 42-year-old and divorced, has become the public face of Sarkozy's drive to add diversity to French politics. Since taking office last year, she has appeared almost as often in the glossy magazines as in the serious political press, prompting criticism that she was seeking celebrity status rather than concentrating on her job. On Wednesday, she confirmed rumors that she was pregnant after the weekly magazine VSD splashed her on the front page saying she was expecting a child.

But the combination of being a minister, having a first child at 40+-years, not being married and and not even revealing the nam of the father would be rather ... interesting in the US. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
