The twists and turns of Bayrou's campaign

Press Mock Bayrou Despite Steady Performance
by Gareth Cartman
Unlike Frenchmen who wouldn't dare speak English in public until they get their pristine syntax grammatically perfect, he managed a few sentences of pidgin when he met Nicholas Scoppetta, the New York City fire commissioner, at a ceremony honoring 9/11 firefighters: "I run. This morning. In Central Park. With T-shirt firefighters." He sounded a little like Gerard Depardieu, the awkward and loveable star in the movie "Green Card." The firepersons loved it.
He told Jewish leaders that "I am a friend of America. I am a friend of Israel." This resonates even with many of his countrymen, whose traditional anti-Semitism has been tempered by the violence of Muslim gangs like those who rioted for several days and nights last fall in the Paris suburbs. Sarkozy understands Islamist jihad and calls the gangs "scum."

Muslim gangs like those who rioted for several days and nights last fall in the Paris suburbs.:') Heh... just several days and nights last fall... and it had never happened before, and hasn't happened since.
tread softly and carry a big stick.
Never take a stick to a gunfight. :')
