Le tout Paris asks pregnant Rachida Dati: 'Who's the daddy? - Times Online

A former Spanish Prime Minister has been forced by internet gossip to deny that he is the father of a baby expected by Rachida Dati, the French Justice Minister and glamour figure of President Sarkozy's cabinet.

The name of José Maria Aznar, who stepped down in 2004, was one of several circulating over the past month as Ms Dati's visibly pregnant state prompted speculation -- in pubs, on the internet, but not the media -- over the question: "Qui est le père?".

Yesterday, Ms Dati, 42, a protégée of the President and symbol of the Cabinet's ethnic diversity, confirmed that she was expecting but declined to name the father. "My private life is complicated and I am keeping it off-limits to the media. I will not say anything about it," she said.

C'mon, she's probably pregnant with Sarko. Remember this one?

[Torygraph Alert] Carla Bruni 'taunted Rachida Dati over seduction of Nicolas Sarkozy' (05 June 2008)

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the French first lady, taunted one of the country's most senior women politicians about her failure to seduce President Nicolas Sarkozy, a new book claims.

The 40-year-old model and singer pointed at a double bed in the Elysée Palace and - turning to justice minister Rachida Dati, who is 42 and single - said: "You'd have loved to occupy it, wouldn't you?"

The scene is reounted in Carla and Nicolas - The True Story, which charts the couple's 80-day romance which culminated in marriage in February.

When Sarkozy steps down, this could make the succession issue entertaining. Just like Tamil Nadu, where the rivals to succeed Ramachandran were his wife and his mistress...

Carla would probably run as the PS candidate...
Shortly before Mr Sarkozy was elected in May last year, Miss Bruni even said she supported his Socialist rival, Ségolène Royal.

She also signed a petition against a Sarkozy-inspired law introducing DNA tests for the families of immigrants wishing to join them in France.

It would be a cohabitation then. Even funnier.

Bruni is from Venus, is Sarkozy from CIA?

Please do not quote Thierry Meyssan on ET. He is famous for his conspiracy theories about 9/11 and other bullshit.

Seeing him quoted by Global Research as a source confirms my suspicion about the seriousness of this site.

TimesOnline - Charles Bremmer - French media in a dither over minister's baby

VSD magazine, which features the minister on its cover, writes coyly today: "She was seen for a time close to a French business leader. His entourage talks of a passionate and stormy relationship, doubtless now over. She was seen last December sunning herself on an island with another CEO who is a friend of the president."

What are readers supposed to make of that ? To satisfy curiosity here, the first companion was Henri Proglio, boss of Veolia Environment, and the man on the beach was Dominique Desseigne,chief of the Barrière casino and hotel empire.

Politics and Power Blog: vanityfair.com

One of the persistent memes in the Republican line of attack against Barack Obama is the notion that he is an elitist, whereas the G.O.P. represent real working Americans like Levi "F-in' Redneck" Johnston.

It caught our attention, then, when First Lady Laura Bush and would-be First Lady Cindy McCain took the stage Tuesday night wearing some rather fancy designer clothes. So we asked our fashion department to price out their outfits.
