sarky heart bruni and president blair

I see Europe-1 is carrying a story about French President Nikolas Sarkozy and pop star model Carla Bruni getting married - another story amongst the last 2 months of guesses. "Nicolas Sarkozy et Carla Bruni se sont mariés ce samedi matin au premier étage de l'Elysée. Ils ont été mariés par le maire du VIIIe arrondissement de Paris, François Leben". It doesn't seem to be in the google news yet, though, so remember, if finally its true, you heard it here first. And the bruni sarkozy tv blog-fest is here.

But just as interesting was another Europe-1 story, a Jean-Pierre Elkabbach French language interview with Tony Blair. In addition to continuing the 'peace in our time' initiatives to the Middle East, it appears that Tony Blair has been taking lessons in the French language reaching a credible fluency enough to sustain a 20 minute political interview. Not content with appearances on Al Ayyam about middle eastern partitions, he's been interviewed about the European Presidency, which will need a new leader next January.

So I'm assuming that Tone's new found lingua-franca is all about the job. A tide-me-over couple of half million quid advisorships until the new year and then a new way to boss Gordon, or whoever it may be, around.
