I don't know did you see this funny little video. Sarkozy, apparently, likes bling-bling stuff....

Yes, I have seen that clip before. I think it was in the "Chatter" forum. I don't know whether to laugh or just shake my head. At least he got a good pen.

[Pen2009]

Is that 149 his? Or, was it given to him for the signing occasion by the state?

[Ghost Plane]

I'll sign things if you give me a 149

Pen was given to him for signing by Romanian hosts

Isn't that considered a bribery? A French president with expensive tastes in good things (including pens) and a MB 149 will mix well in the back room political deals, though.

Can you co-sign my jumbo mortgage? (dangling a 149 in front of the screen.)

[Ghost Plane]

Sure, but it won't be my legal name. :ltcapd:

I believe the "gift" isn't to expensive, so it's not a bribery. But if I see correctly Romanian host was rather surprised what Sarkozy asked, so he also took 149 and placed it safely in his pocket. Maybe Mrs Bruni was somewhere near

in a semi related note, I saw President Calderon use a fountain pen to sign an accord yesterday. He is left handed, pen was black, most likely a MB. Can't find pics

[Pravda]

They are implying that he 'pocketed' it at the end, which I guess he did hehe

Haha, were those arrows at the end suggesting that he probably wants to steal the artwork and furnishings as well?

I thought he took the pen from the other diplomat...

[Wideguy]

As far as I know, "sticky fingers" caused quite an uproar in France afterwards !!

[cwnidog]

Well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

 

Can't say that I blame him.

Being gifted the pen is often seen after signing a treaty. It would have been abnormal if he would have taken the blotter on his right hand, right?

Yes, indeed, that's the custom. But I believe this particular pen wasn't intended to be gifted
