Is Sarkozy's new wife too sexy for France?
The news that French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his girlfriend of scarcely four months, singer and former supermodel Carla Bruni, tied the knot on Saturday will no doubt come as a relief to friends and political allies who feared he was spending too much time on his personal affairs and not enough on affairs of state. French conservatives, facing an uphill struggle in next month's local elections, may well be hoping that normalising the relationship will go a long way to repairing Sarkozy's with the French, who have grown tired of seeing their president and his mistress monopolise the covers of France's glossy glamour weeklies. But France is still, despite all of Sarkozy's efforts, a morally traditional country - a macho country - where it is more or less expected that men are promiscuous and women are tactful.
