sex and politics

… it seems that focued, ruthless, ice-cold men to whom their nations look up for guidance are actually hot-blooded studs with an eye for prime skin. And while none of them can claim that the other two are his friends (amis, prijatelja, друзя), Nicolas Sarkozy, Janez Janša and Vladimir Putin prove that you can be ugly as the wrong side of a car accident and still get laid with the hottest biotches out there. OK. I’m not saying that Sarko, JJ and Vlad are ugly, but - let’s face it - they ain’t exactly oozing sexiness. And yet…

Nicolas Sarkozy divorced his wife of eleven years (and a partner for nearly twice as much) Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz (this already being the second marriage for both of them) and married Carla Bruni, a former Italian model, singer and songwriter. But Sarko’s martial exploits were widely reported on and the fact that Carla’s nekkid pic fetched $91k is only icing on a somewhat stale cake. Still, she’s babe-o-licious and as such wasted on him. But maybe - just maybe - she has a plan B. Oh, BTW - Sarko already has three sons. How very French, n’est-ce pas?

Second in our mini tour of beauties and the beasts is this blog’s poster boy, Slovenian prime minister Janez Janša, who sent shockwaves through the claustrophobically uptight Slovenian society when he made his first public appearance together with Urška Bačovnik, an medical doctor, eighteen years his junior. Janša was never married, but did have a long-time partner Silva Predalič which has all but disappeared from his CV. They had two children (with JJ rumoured to have fathered at least one more somewhere), whereas Slovenian public is eagerly awaiting annoucment of a wedding date, possibly pre-dated by Urška’s bulging belly. On the other hand, some people are saying that a lot depends on the election result. If he loses - the line of thought goes - it will be fun to watch just who will dump who.

But the last one is a real shocker. Apparently Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovič Putin divorced (or is about to divorce) his wife of 25 years Ljudmila Škrebneva and is getting hitched to 24-year-old gymnast Alina Kabaeva, a Duma deputy representing Putin’s party United Russia. Just like Sarko and JJ, Putin too fathered a couple of kids - two daughters, to be exact. Call me pro-Russian, but I think Vlad got the best deal of the three - at least looking from the outside.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg… If pengovsky were to write up just every case of Slovenian politicos chasing skirt, this blog would provide for some really juicy and fruity content if you catch my meaning…
