Call him "Chiracarter". All this malaise is bad news and very un-French. Can't heat your home? Just stand around a burning car and warm yourself!
Polls don't mean a lot.
I am not going to salivate over polls this way than I would want the Lefties to salivate over Bush's artificially low numbers (pushed down by the MSM).
Just remember, it plummeted in the U.S. first!
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving worthless SOB. Our MSM goes freaky when Bush poll numbers are driven down to around 40 (entirely an artifice of the biased MSM pouring their dishonest stories down people's throats year after year). Chirac is at 21..... will the NY Times proclaim that his administration has failed miserably and should be removed??
Once again, France is trying to catch up with us.
Think what his number really are, if the MSM reports this. Ouch!!!

AIR-BALL (hot-air-ball) every time from this cheeseball frog.
Yawn.
BIG Surprise .
Uh oh, maybe he and Martin should get together for their wake... since they both speak French.
I see that this poll is in Le Figaro. Is this paper usually supportive of Chirac? If so, then this would be very interesting.
They could comiserate and blame Bush.
Hahaha, good point.
Jacques-Strap PING!
time to blow the crap out of the ivory coast again, I guess.
LOL!
Well, time again for Chirac to bash President Bush...
Another liberal, US hater biting the dust?
We can hope and dream. Next, there has to be a turn against De Villepin; he is as big a crapweasel as Chirac.
