I didn't know Americans could vote in France.
The Guardian characteristically neglects to point out that Bardot's book is number one in sales at Amazon.fr, that she has been sued as a "racist" under French law at least three times previously, and that she likes Chirac.
From AFP:
In politics she likes President Jacques Chirac "as a human and a friend," and praises his stand on Iraq (news - web sites). Far right leader Jean-Marie le Pen and Trotskyist Arlette Laguiller are sincere and consistent. But the rest are "weather vanes who turn left or right as the fancy takes them."
