Bruni speaks out against Euro-racism

Nicholas Sarkozy's glamorous wife, Carla Bruni, has joined the chorus of Europeans who are currenlty decrying European racism in light of Obama's electoral triumph.

Mrs Bruni singled out Silvio Berlusconi for his lack of class in describing Obama's "suntan". The Italian born star said this type of incident makes her glad she became French.

Of course, even the wife of France's president recognizes the country is far from perfect and has signed a declaration calling for positive discrimination, unimaginatively entitled "Yes We Can."

If nothing else, Mrs Bruni well have made her husband squirm. A triumph in its own right.
