Segolene Royal, France's Socialist presidential candidate, who lost out to Nicolas Sarkozy last month, has broken up with her life partner after a 25-year-long relationship.

Royal said the reason for the parting was the infidelity of her partner , Socialist leader Francois Hollande.

Further details will be revealed in Royal's autobiography, which is to be published this week.

"I asked him to leave our home to continue pursuing his love interests and wished him happiness," Royal said in a statement on Monday.

The couple has four children.

Hollande confirmed the news, but was adamant that the high-profile split would have no major political consequences and re-iterating that he would stay on as party leader until the next party congress, scheduled for the fall of 2008.

But with Royal asserting her ambition to challenge for the party hot-seat, the two are likely to clash then, or even earlier if the Socialists decide to call an early congress.

I here ya Stoner....I respect Hillary for her accomplishments and education...
her health care plan was pretty good only defeated through massive big pharma/HMO propaganda..
but I think people feel deep down she only had Chelsea for political reasons...

like Barak Obama only married that really nasty other half for politics....

one only can guess the sordid truth of the politico elite

Hi RS-
Nice to "see" you, too. Thanks for the note! It's been a very long time since I've posted, because I really hate all the crap that's been posted here lately. I just had to chime in to laugh at your bastard love child RA. Where are you and DA registered?? (Couldn't resist, as hard as I would like to try to stay on topic!)

We had a little bitty storm yesterday with some thunder, but these storms are nothing compared to what they're getting in my old neck of the woods (TX), or even the ones they get west and/or south of the city further from the lake. People are dying in flash floods in the DFW area. Happens every year and just goes to show you, we'll never beat Mother Nature. Glad you're OK, too, btw.

Thanks for the greetings to mini... I'll tell her.
Hugs to you and Noire. Stay close to her if it storms again, OK? She doesn't like it one bit.

Have you planned your trip to Bulgaria yet? You really need to go. I think 4-5 years on this forum ought to qualify you for a BG passport, don't you? ;)

Hey Uchak.

No. I didn't call her a frigid bitch when I met her, because that would be, me, calling the kettle, black, even though I NEVER bitch and I never get cold. ;-p

I have alot of respect for Senator Hillary and I hope she respects, all of us......

Only time will tell....I just can't wait until we get the current simpleton out of OUR office!

Holy Sh*T

J.M. :-)

Welcome back, my old friend. (((((HUGZ))))))

Were the storms as bad in "your neck of the woods" as they were in mine, today?

It got "pretty" severe here for a while but I heard it was even worse, in your area.

I hope all is well with you and and your precious lil BG angel.

Great to see you, here again! :-)

WW:
"I think if politicians had happier (more healthily pervy) sex lives, the world would be better off."
Agreed.
Except I know a thing or two about women/wives, and I have to tell you that only a docile dimwitted bimbo would have a healthy/pervy sex life with her man, after being forced to endure detail discussions on National TV about the exact area of an intern's dress he happen to ejaculate on....

WW:
"And Hils didn't just play the good wife (whatever that might be), she had a bigger agenda in mind which she is now pursuing."

And here we have the most disturbing element, if you please:
Not only is it inconceivable that she had healthy/prvy sex life, but she seemed to have even sacrificed basic human sexuality at the altar of political power...
Would the world be really "better off" with someone like that?

WW:
"Hell, maybe she, Bill and his girlfriends had wild threesomes, who knows?"

I'd sooner believe Al Gore going at it in wild orgies that that Mother Superior...

I always wondered who my real father was.....
Hi Dad! Where's my child support for all these years??

WickedWitch,

In one of my previous lifetimes, I used to be a paraplegic pornographer and I set Bill up with three exotic Hungarian-Sudanese-Burmese scrubbers right smack in the middle of Shipshewana, Indiana.

The threesomes that escalated were too steamy for my camera which was in the shape of a phallic shower with a honeydew watermelon flash. The positions that were experimented with were unspeakable.

The climax of the series was one of the exotic slappers spanking Bill to the tune of 'The lady had a donkey that everyone admired... temporarily lazy and permanently tired' and Bill who was in the submissive mastodon position just blubbered on whilst the quiver in his voice conveyed the grandest ever pleasurable pain.

I reckon the most content sextuplets were produced during that strictly professional affair as the slapper-troika all gave birth simultaneously nine months after the final shoot. All the brats were named Dingdongcaramel. Life is sooooo flagging good!

T'rarabit,
Sir Ste [by the way, I am delighted about Becks too. He deserved to sign off in Spain with a triumph of that magnitude. I did flick over to the England U-21 game vs Serbia in Nijmegen - the European U-21 group match and I have to say the Serbian Nazi fans were deplorable. How primitive were those monkey chants directed at our black players, huh? UEFA and FIFA should throw the book at Serbia... big style!!!]
