Excitable contributors at National Review's The Corner are all worked about reports that Nicholas Sarkozy will appoint (socialist) Hubert Védrine as foreign minister [so is Powerline]. Notably, they seem to be sourcing this only to English newspapers. In fact, there are a number of names out there for the job, with this Le Monde story giving the sense that Bernard Kouchner is on the inside track.
UPDATE 16 MAY: the Védrine rumour is receding. Instead it seems that it will be Kouchner, placed within an American style National Security Council structure.
