La touche Sarko / The Sarko touch

Photo Hosted at BuzznetLe président français victime d'un effet d'optique en remettant une médaille à la navigatrice Maud Fontenoy? De quoi rire (via Kandidatür) mais pas de quoi en faire une affaire d'état. Sur cette photode Reuters, Sarko bronzé ressemble beaucoup à Antonio Villaraigosa, le maire de Los Angeles empêtré dans un scandale qui n'en finit pas (grâce entre autre au copain journaliste d'investigation Eric Longabardi de ERS News qui ne lui lâche pas les baskets!)

Was the French prez photographed from a bad angle while pinning a medal on professional sailor Maud Fontenoy's chest? This is good for a laugh (courtesy of Kandidatür) but no big state affair. On this Reuters pic, a tanned Sarko reminds us a lot of Antonio Villaraigosa, the Los Angeles mayor stuck in an ongoing scandal (thanks to, in part, investigative journalist pal Eric Longabardi of ERS News, sticking close all the time!)

It looks like they're both about to get very friendly!

Yeah, I was going to say: what is she doing? And why is he so shiny? It's like an R.E.M. song or something.

Her award is not called "The National Order of Merit" for nothing!

Looks to me like she started it. Look where her hand is.

The shadow of his hand, caused by the flash, shows he's not touching her...

Ah . my french is not so good .. but seeing that picture I only remember this very bad version .. mon a mei .. mon cheri :-) ah the french, way more style and sauve than the mexicans (ala Villaraigosa) for sure .. but of course only the Italians can give the French a run for their money!

It was the French prez's duty to pin on that honor! .. Viva la France and Viva Italia! :-)

Ciao!
