It’s so reassuring when a former crush continually does things to make you realize how much better off you are without him. I have to say, he’s been quite the gentleman in this regard.

That photo is so French Rock Star. “Je veux toi!”

While we’re adding to the Sarko comments.

A Euro type I know mentioned that Sarko’s got some size issues. Apparently Sarko’s not impressed with the size of his plane ride as it is smaller than any other world leaders so he’s ordering an A350 to be the new “L’Armee De l’Air Un”

It is supposed to be pimped out (please Hils don’t suspend me) with all the amenities of AF 1 with the side mirrors, nuclear proof comm, command center, smoking section, wine cellar and lovenasium… One French wag wondered if it was going to include a recording studio for the first mistress, er fiance, uh, lady.

Wow, those Frogs sure are swift with the justice-dispensing; that whole Ryan Air thing only took a week to play out!

And Megan, though your attraction to him has left me mystified until now, those mirrorshades are hott.

Everything’s better in black and white with a Piaf soundtrack.

Let me just say that after l’affaire des poignées d’amour, nothing about your darling Nicky surprises me.

On the other hand, I think it is totally awesome that in that suit against Ryannair, he only asked for $1, whereas Carla’s payoff was based on what she would have earned had it been a real ad. That strikes me as somehow double-douchey.

But, finally, don’t we all actually wish that our biggest national concern was a philandering President and a handful of genocidal colonies?

well, everyone knows that drunk text messages disappear at sunrise as if they never existed, right?

@nabisco: You’re always trying to talk me out of it! Don’t you know that the women in love see not through their eyes but their hearts?
@pocket gay: I have an ex that wishes it was so.
@cynica: Making me feel less bad about the end of a relationship is all I ever really ask of a dude.

@Pedonator: No kidding! In the USA, Ryanair’s attorney would just now be billing ~90 hours (counting associates, paralegals and law clerks) for filing the obligatory Motion to Dismiss, to be followed by fruitless yet expensive Motion for Summary Judgment (I never recall a single one of those being granted in the 15 years I spent in law firms). Them Frenchies got a lot to learn about making litigation really PAY for the ones who count: the lawyers. Probably because “they don’t have a word for entrepreneur.” — GW Bush

For real, how does that legal system work? Swift justice.

@Nabisco: He sought one euro in damages. That’s like one MILLION dollars these days.

@ManchuCandidate: She’s not his special lady - she’s his fucking lady friend. And he was just helping her conceive, man.

oh Megan dear you didn’t photoshop out Nicky’s love handles. He is so going to sue you now.

Keep it on the ‘low, girl.

@Pedonator - yeah, but it’ll take SocGen a year to fire that embezzler, who would be sitting at his desk playing Free Cell right now if he wasn’t so shitscared of getting a bullet in the head from his shady investor friends.

@cynica: i have seen many successful MSJs, but then i worked in class actions, where merely by the law of large numbers you’re bound to win some (and where a lot of loonies with dubious cases and money-grubbing plaintiff’s attorneys come to the trough).

i’m surprised to at the speed of this desicison (which i’ve tried to find online, but it hasn’t been released yet as far as i can tell–yep, i’m bored), but considering the position of the president of the republic in french law, i’m not surprised if it were fast-tracked.

Megan, he just hit the wrong number on Speed Dial is all. You know that text was meant for you.

@DickCheneysBlackSister: You know, a girl can only tell herself that so many times before she has to accept the truth. [sniff]

@Megan: For whatever it’s worth, dear: We’re all here because we love you. Even those of us who are not gay.

Megan, I’m going to give you some advice. Stick with what you know. Foreigners never get your jokes. And let’s face it, good snark is a terrible thing to waste.

I’m a journalist, but I gotta say, I luvs seein’ gossip rags getting sued out of business. Those people suck. I like it when Britney hits paparazzi with her car, too; that’s the Bumper of Justice. Those guys ought to all have restraining orders against them for stalking.
