5. Rama Yade
The most popular politician in French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government is Rama Yade, the minister of sports. Yade, 32, is a native of Senegal.
She’s a fighter too. When first elected, Sarkozy made her minister for human rights. She often expressed liberal positions that contradicted Sarkozy and other members of his cabinet. In fact, at one point, Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner declared that there was no need for a human rights minister since those concerns fell within his foreign affairs purview.
When Sarkozy shuffled his cabinet, Yade was given the sports portfolio, a move widely seen as a demotion. There too, she has often disagreed publicly with the views of other cabinet members. Yet Yade has moved up from third to first in the popularity ratings, displacing, ironically, Kouchner, who sank from first to third place.
I totally cool if she wants to contradict me, anytime Madam.
4. Queen Rania of Jordan
Queen Rania of Jordan was proclaimed a Queen shortly after her husband, King Abdullah II, ascended to the throne in 1999. Since then, she has championed women’s rights in the Middle East and worldwide.
3. Princess Letizia
Formerly a journalist with CNN, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano married Prince Felipe of Spain in 2004.
2. Maria Rosaria Carfagna
Former topless model and showgirl Mara Carfagna was elected to Italy’s lower legislative body (The Chamber of Deputies) in 2006 and was soon appointed the Minister for Equal Opportunity by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
You probably didn’t read anything after the words – topless model.
