#1 What would make anyone think the elimination of Jock Sherock as a political force in France would be a good thing? The same monkeys that elected him would elect the next guy, right? This is the land of Robespierre, DeGaulle, and Pepe LePew, after all.

#2 Too bad they did not give Mssr. Sarkozy a stab at the elder care problem during last summer's heat wave. A lot of them might have lived.

#3 "Until the debacle of the Corsican referendum this summer, ...Mr Sarkozy could do no wrong, but even this failure was quickly forgotten"......

At least that is, until this article was written to remind us about it.

So I guess the point of the article is this: Oh sure, he may seem like a nice guy, but don't be decieved. Despite Mr Sarkozy's apparent success and popularity, we, the editors of this piece, would like you to be left with the impression that Mr Sarkozy is a hyperactive, relentlessly ambitious, back-stabbing, child molesting, kind of guy.

#4 Anybody have more background on the guy? He sounds like he would be an effective leader.

#5 Sarkozy instituted the French Council of the Muslim Faith, hoping to give Islam an institutional voice in France. Sort of backfired when the regional councils turned out to be populated by extremists.

#6 Does anyone here relaize that Chirac is right wing, speaks English and actually likes America?
