By his own choice, Chirac's peevishness has put him on the outside looking in as the world leaders honor President Reagan. May he stay there.
Let's see if France actually sends anyone to represent them at the funeral. I generally trust New Max's sources, so if Chirac has said that he is refusing to attend, it must mean that he was invited.
We'll see. I detest France, and even if they send a representative it won't change my mind. My dad was stationed in France during WWII. He was not a prejudiced person, but boy he hated the Vichy French.
