Armed with an arsenal of barbs, low-blows
and ripostes, the top two female candidates in the 2012 French presidential
race have been waging a war of words in recent days, setting the stage for a
perfect media storm.
Politically, Marine Le Pen, the
43-year-old leader of France’s far-right National Front, and Eva Joly, the
68-year-old Green Party candidate, stand on opposite sides of the ideological
spectrum.
Personally, the two women have little in
common. The youngest daughter of National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, the
younger Le Pen was born in the upscale Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine and
grew up in the French rightwing political establishment.

Uh, and Marine, you might want to watch that finger, it's looking a little Jan Brewer like.
