#1 Dominique Galouzeau "de Villepin" (recently bought nobility), who, as you might recall, is a man, and was lauded for his flamboyant opposition to the US Hegemon at the UN tribune, where he even got applauded by various african delegates for a grandiloquent speech. Sic transit gloria mundi, etc, etc.

#2 I'm no fin of De Villepin, but let's face it, he did more than any other single individual to call attention to the necessity of freeing up the French labor market, at least a little. Moreover, even Le Monde ran a piece or 2 a week or 2 back that was not entirely antipathetic to the notion as well.
