THE TELEGRAPH: Nicolas Sarkozy has confronted a radio presenter who asked his wife, Carla Bruni: "Would you love him so much if he wasn't President of France?"
Mr Sarkozy is said to have cornered the outspoken radio host, Marc-Olivier Fogiel, at an awards ceremony at the Elysee Palace.
The President was described by witnesses to have "stormed up" to the surprised DJ to defend his wife's honour.
The stand-off came after Mr Fogiel interviewed the French First Lady on his chat show on radio station Europe 1 last week.
He reminded listeners how Mr Sarkozy met Bruni on a blind date at a Paris dinner party more than two years ago, then proposed on Christmas day after a two-month whirlwind romance.
He then bluntly questioned about her love for the 54-year-old President.
The stunning 41-year-old former supermodel replied simply: "That's a bit of a stupid question."
At the Elysee Palace this week, Mr Sarkozy was heard to have told Mr Fogiel: "I don't appreciate the way you spoke to my wife. It was a clumsy question. I won't forget about it." >>> | Saturday, December 12, 2009
