French writer sacked for writing agaisnt First Lady

[Stiffelio]

The new French First Lady, Valérie Trierweiler, seems to have begun her role with the wrong foot. First she tweets against the president's first wife, causing her to lose in the elections. Now she apparently had a prominent writer-journalist, Philippe Sollers, fired from the Journal du Dimanche for writing an unflattering article against her. And I thought France was a censure-free country!

Trierweiler? More like a Rottweiler bitch, isn't she?

Um, isn't that, like, an insult to Rottweiler bitches everywhere?

France is a free country, but one wonders about the motivation for searching Sarkozy's home for proof of fiddling, when he's been less than a month out of office, i.e. no longer immune to prosecution. If he's been on the fiddle, that has hardly stopped Berlusconi in neighbouring Italy, who seems to get away with anything.
