Likely French presidential candidate: Bill Clinton's moral authority needed in Mideast


Ségolène Royal is a Socialist politician who may run for president next year in France. If she wins, she'll become France's first female president.

Apparently, Ms. Royal is a big Bill Clinton fan--she wants Clinton to use his influence to solve the current crisis in the Middle East.

And based on the picture of Ségolène, "Bubba" might be a big fan of the Leftist.

Expatica has the scoop on the unintentionally laugh royale dished up by Royal.

"France can play an intermediary, trustworthy role" but we also need "voices that carry international weight, that have moral authority," Royal told RTL radio.

"I am thinking about people such as Bill Clinton. We can find others, one per continent, who will be able to relaunch dialogue and give the feeling that we can talk to each other again," she said.

Talk, or something else?
