Give the Supermodels a Chance

A few of the recent posts have seen athletes, porn stars, and pimps comment on politics and current events. So where are the supermodels you ask? We got 'em right here. Two stories from this past week -

Exhibit A: Naomi Campbell, super-model extraordinaire with a heart of gold, recently interviewed Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Some genius decided to give her a column in the British edition of GQ. According to Campbell, "I didn't want to judge, or to probe him for his political views, even though he gave them freely. I simply went to interview Hugo the man." Such journalistic integrity. Maybe she'll ship off to North Korea next and meet with Kim Jong Il. He might need some platform shoes for that encounter.

Exhibit B: Sarko is told to leave his babe at home. According to an AP story on Wednesday, "A senior Saudi official urged French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday to respect Saudi Arabia's conservative Islamic culture by visiting the country Sunday without his girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni...Under the strict interpretation of Islamic law enforced in Saudi Arabia, unmarried or unrelated couples are not permitted to be alone together." Sarko recently said at a press conference that he strongly intends to marry Bruni. Maybe he wants to tie the knot soon so he can bring her next time. Stay tuned.
