Of the two, only Drnovšek has aged gracefully.
Brigitte Bardot, a former mannequin turned full-time nutter, recently wrote a gushing fan letter to Slovenia’s president Janez Drnovšek. Bardot usually supports neo-fascists like Le Pen, so this was a bit of a departure for her. But, as Reuters explains, she really adores his commitment to animal rights.
Drnovšek’s change from straight-edge politician to New Age guru has attracted a lot of attention from foreign media. Here are two other recent stories:
* Slovenian President Finds Peace and Wants to Share It (NYT profile)
* Slovenia’s New Age president delights many — but others say he isn’t fit to lead (AP)
I think Slovenia will really miss him when he’s gone.
