Nude Carla Bruni Photo Fails to Sell
Sarkozy and the camera may love her, but French auction houses don't. A nude photograph of French first lady and former model Carla Bruni was yanked from a Parisian auction block after it failed to surpass its undisclosed reserve price. Taken by famed photographer Michel Comte, the image—a full-body depiction of a nude Bruni, her hands folded demurely in front of her nethers—sold for $91,000 at New York's Christie's auction house in April 2008. This time around, bidding started at 4000 euros and ended at 5800 euros, the equivalent of $8700. Later, a private, behind-the-scenes sale put the image in the hands of an anonymous buyer for a scant 6000 euros.

now can you imagine what a photo like that of Sarah Palin would sell for $$$$$$$$$ big bucks im sure.

I'm sure it would. They would keep a copy of it in emergency rooms around the country for people who had:
1) Swallowed poison. It would be cheaper than buying cartons of syrup of ipecac over and over.
2) 4 hour erections. Instant loss of erection. Of course it might cause a permanent loss of said erection.
3)
4)
Sorry, there were two more items but the photo quit halfway through the list for the good of the hospital emergency room.

I'm sure a photo of Obama like that would sell for even more, since he is a bigger celebrity then either Ms. Bruni or Ms. Palin.

OK..here it goes...150 old style francs(1.5 Euros) for Sarkozy...I'll put up much larger dollars for Sarah..but then, she's better constructed and not French.
Thank you.
