The silver haired weasel's days of conspiring against the US and Sarkozy are coming to and end. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

[Finalapproach29er]

Sissy first name. lol

God is starting to settle some scores. Justice wheels turn slowly, as scooter found out.

Frenchy got caught in a snare of his own making.

[M. Espinola]

Dominique de Villepin thought he would rule France through deception and lies. Now he better contemplate how much will be required for a team of like minded shysters to keep him out of jail.

[Fred Nerks]

The judges are to cross-examine Mr Gergorin and Mr Lahoud over the Rondot notes, which were retrieved from a hard drive by technicians, despite their having been erased.

LOL how shocking!

[gridlock]

I have taken a one-year No French Bashing Pledge, and I still have two months to go... So my condemnation of Dominique de Villepin (who is a man) has nothing to do with the fact that he is French, and everything to do with the fact that he is a weasel and a crook.

There are weasels and crooks in every society, though. Some even make it to high office...

[gridlock]

Oops! Make that ten months to go today! No French Bashing until May 6, 2008...

[Fred Nerks]

hehehe...pssst...I don’t think you’re gunna make it.

[gridlock]

Hey, I didn't say it was gonna be easy...

If Jorge had had the stones to go after the clintons like this when he got in the way Sarkozy is now doing - we’d be living in a very different world by now.

Instead Jorge took the exact opposite tack and pretended like they were just ordinary “public servants”. That’s worked out real well for him - not.

Chirac to face corruption inquiry

Jacques Chirac has denied any wrongdoing
French ex-President Jacques Chirac is to face questioning over corruption allegations relating to his 18-year tenure as Paris mayor, his lawyer says.
Jean Veil said Mr Chirac would be questioned by judges as an assisted witness, meaning he could face criminal charges over a fake jobs scandal.

Mr Chirac is also refusing to answer questions over the death of a French judge in Djibouti in 1995.

Investigators into the death of Judge Bernard Borrel were barred from searching Mr Chirac’s Elysee Palace office in May.

Last week, Mr Chirac said he would not testify over the Clearstream case because he was still protected by presidential immunity.

(it’s not over until the fat lady sings! GO SARKOZY!)

[blam]

This is also the ‘bunch’ who were bribing 3rd world countries to vote against the US in the UN.

Chirac to face corruption inquiry

Oh what a tangled web we weave.....

[ken5050]

What potential penalty/sentence does he face?

[Islander7]

One can always depend on the french to be undependable.

[ken5050]

I greatly admire your self-discipline..to honor your pledge. However, in this ONE instance, perhaps our source of all news on matters French could provide you with the French translation for "mulligan"....

Yep. That whole "New Tone" thing was just a disaster. President Bush reached out to the Democrats, and they took advantage. He should have just come on strong, right out of the box.

Oh well, that's one for the Live and Learn file...

[gridlock]

3:01 PM EST on May 6, 2008 is going to be legendary...
