#1 Instead, he said the government must keep its hands off France's treasured public sector.

That's going to be tough to do when your government is ~~slowly~~ bankrupting itself...

#2 If Chretien's the conservative, I'm not sure if I want to find out what the liberals are like.

#3 *Shrug* Guess what they're going to have to cut in order to keep their social welfare system in place?

So much for further naval exercises with the People's Republic of China, quasi-imperialism in Africa, and delusions of a serious pan-European military force.

The decline of France -- started over a century ago -- continues steadily and without pause. There are some who feel that France has become our enemy and must be treated as such. I say, "Who cares?"

#7 This is SWEET! Imagine a place where Chiraq is the conservative!?!

I figure the harder Eurosocialism falls, the better the lesson will be. Thank you to the ~~spoiled, circle jerking, self serving, aloof, boring~~ electorate of France for ensuring a nice big splat.

#8 So the French have a shouting match to change who re-arranges the deck chairs on the Titanic. How appropriate. Keep going, guys - at this rate, not even your MUSLIM population will want what's left. Let me know when the bankruptcy sales begin - I could use a good set of Sevres china at bargain-basement prices.

#9 M. Hollande also promised that French troops would be 'immediately withdrawn' from Iraq the moment the Socialists gained control of the government. However, after a quick and hurried tete a tete with his staff, he returned to the podium and said "never mind"....
