French President Sarkozy Shows Class

The Story: French President Nicolas Sarkozy respectfully refuses to comment on his soon-to-be ex-wife in an interview with "60 Minutes" interviewer Leslie Stahl. See the story and clip here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071029/ap_on_re_us/sarkozy_stormy_interview_6

My 2 Cents: Pres. Sarkozy has shown himself, thus far, to be an upstanding leader for France. His behavior in this case simply cements my opinion of him: He is a good man, and a real man. He was rudely pressed about his personal relationship and responded very politely that he would not discuss his wife in the interview. If someone asked me about my personal life in this manner I would not have been half as eloquent.

I completely understand this poor man's disgust in how he was treated in the interview. "60 Minutes" was once a well-respected news reporting entity. Now it is just another pop-culture driven media circus hell-bent on exploiting the latest trash. Unfortunately, "60 Minutes" still uses it's good name to reel in normal people who couldn't care less about this kind of garbage.

So the poor guy is getting a divorce. What does that have to do with the price of bon-bons in Paris? Leave it be. There are more important questions to ask.
