Je t'aime, Ségolène Royal

Dear France,

As we Democrats come in from the wilderness, I look with no little envy to you, nominating, as you have, the hottest goddamn Socialist presidential candidate bar none, an unmarried mother, Ségolène Royal, 53. (Ségolène!) (53!)
IHT: "Campaigning on a platform of "rupture" with the status quo, she has also capitalized on her femininity while accusing her competitors of chauvinism.

"Gazelles," she said last May, "run faster than elephants."

I am all for this: If beauty captures the imagination of the people, if her looks appear to embody the progressive, humanist spirit, magnifique!

So the next president of France looks good in a bikini - one could only wish that had been a requirement in America over the last six years.

As one who lives in a state where a creationist good looking airhead is to be our governor, with a huge gender gap in her numbers and men openly saying they voted for her because she's hot, I cannot entirely subscribe to the Sea Lord's theory. Wax anderoids can be made dishy, too.

Phillipe -

Thanks for your kind comments, and we'll definitely check out your blog. Please keep reading!

If you search back through the annals of Isengard.gov, you will find our faux french retro-modernist, Mon. Latouche, diffident architect of non-being and figment of Dr. X's imagination.

Else, you will find Dr. X and all our crew far more agreeable contributors.

Also, I must respond to our President in Exile:

Of course, Ms. Palin is right-wing if not wholly corrupt haircut in a red suit. But, unlike Segolene, she has no taste man, no style at all. This is, somehow, a sure sign, of some lacking thing or another.

Also, in terms of relative comeliness, Sarah Palin is to Segolene as Palmer is to Paris.

Bernie Sanders is not cutting it. I say, bring on all the smoking neo-socialists we have available.
