Wait a minute. ...is this one of those "alternate universe" threads?

Its Sarkozy. French conservative. Hopefully, Chirac's replacement (and I keep hoping, the guy who slaps the cuffs on Chirac).

Ah yes, Sarkozy. Forgot about that guy. I'll wait to see if his opinion is seconded over there.

(and I keep hoping, the guy who slaps the cuffs on Chirac).

And I kept hoping President Bush would do the same to The Slickster. ....but no go.

Yep, Chirac is a spent force. There is a cool article in the Economist about what a failure his presidency is for France.

"Its Sarkozy. French conservative. Hopefully, Chirac's replacement (and I keep hoping, the guy who slaps the cuffs on Chirac)."

That would be great but not likely. Sarkozy has been demonized in the French press as a 'radical' over some of his statements and positions about the rioting Muslim yutes.
