Wow, I can't believe this. I just can't. And to think Chirac met Reagan several times, and aspired to be a French Reagan. Ha ! What a sorry excuse for a human being. One thing I'm sure of, the late François Mitterrand would have gone to the funeral.

France will be represented by former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who was Président de la République when Ronald Reagan won the 1980 election, and by Foreign Minister Michel Barnier. So the article is a bit misleading, but for Chirac it's quite accurate.

Thanks. Sending the former French President and current Foreign Minister makes more sense. I don't want to see Chirac's lying face at President Reagan's funeral anyway.
