Well, the Supreme Court back in the 1940's defined the concept of 'fighting words', words which were considered almost a physical assault. Of course the test case involved a person yelling at a police officer, who's obviously tender feelings were hurt.

Fighting words doctrine

As far as Ms. Bardot is concerned, she is now married to an executive of the French National Front part, a sort of John Birch Society ultra-nationalist group. Ms. Bardot's story appears to be another sad story of an individual living a wild and libertine lifestyle who seems to have an epiphany, decides to straighten up, and proceeds to overcompensate to the point where he or she becomes a tiresome ultraconservative dogmatist denouncing free love, free thought, free expression, or any kind of liberalism.

Maybe she and GWB can form a club.

Here are two pictures of her

Then

and now

At least she hasn't appeared to have changed her eyeliner.
