French & Mexican Socialists All Getting Divorced
Just days after the tragic announcement that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will no longer pretend to be married to his wife, Corina, French socialist leader and failed presidential candidate Ségolène Royal announced she has separated from her socialist boyfriend of 30 years -- to whom she wasn't even married!
Villaraigosa's situation is especially goofy because his last name is actually a combination of his and his wife's surnames -- Villar and Raigosa. Take note, hippies: This shit may sound romantic at the time, but eventually millions of people will laugh at your hippie misfortune, if you become a public figure.
Conservatives around the world said the breakups and rumored infidelities were exactly what you could expect from liberals. Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan could not be reached for comment.
