Sarkozy a ‘kept man’?

FORMER French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his pop-star-supermodel wife have always thrived under the public gaze. But recent scrutiny has given even this French glamor couple reason to squirm.

A playful conversation between Sarkozy and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy that mysteriously surfaced in the press has combined with the publication of snippets of sensitive legal discussions to deal the onetime conservative darling a major headache — just as he has positioned himself for a political comeback. They included teasing chitchat in which Bruni told her husband he was a kept man.

Sarkozy and his wife sought an emergency injunction Monday to block further publication of their conversations. But it was the revelation that calls between Sarkozy and his lawyer were recorded by investigative judges that could deal the more serious blow.
