He was fun to make fun of, but I think that the French have grown tired of him and his policies. And quite frankly, I'm tired of hating the French. Now that the world has seen that they have a sane majority, I'm willing to cut them some slack and give them a chance. They make some great food and they have some pretty ladies :-)
If they screw up this opportunity and go back to Socialism and a snivelling hatred of America, I'll happily put them back on my Hate List, but I'm willing to give them a chance.
