Chirac is such a horrible human being.

Chirac: "You are so lucky that you're not British"(...yea..because you don't live down wind from the French...)

[kiriath_jearim]

Has anyone told that to the millions of North African Muslims in France?

[Loyalist]

Simple reversion to type.

The French will always despise les rosbifs, and the English will always detest the frogs, and there's nothing the EU's social engineering can do about it.

he is hardly human.

When Britain finally pulls its troops put of Iraq, they're gonna make a BRIEF stopover in Paris..

Chirac: "You are so lucky that you're not British"

You're lucky YOU'RE NOT SPEAKING GERMAN!!!

And, TWICE at that.

This France that Chirac speaks of...

...isn't this the same France that stood by idly while hundreds, if not thousands of its citizens, died in a massive heatwave a few years ago?

What an a**hole Chirac is.

I already posted this article.

But I do not think the British model is one that we should envy.

The French model - allowing nearly 20% of the country to become Islamicized - is better, Jacques?

I used to think Charles de Gaulle was the biggest obstructive/destructive, pompous, envious, jackass after WWII and his utter disregard for who really saved his countries "ass".....in fact, he is the model Chirac seems to follow and now I'm on the fence on which one really takes the prize for clueless, useless, ignorant trans Atlantic bozo.........I guess I'll call it a draw and hate them both equally!!!!!!!!!

[WestTexasWend]

Yet I'm sure the French agree with him. Not even Jerry Lewis can save the French now...

[Heartofsong83]

When is the next election in France? Who do we endorse, now that they claim Chirac is the "right-wing" candidate?

[TheOtherOne]

Screw you France!

[Alex Marko]

Sarkozy is running vs Chirac and he is very pro-US.

[contemplator]

“Certainly, their unemployment is lower than ours. But if you take the big elements in society — health policy, the fight against poverty, . . . spending involving the future — you notice that we are much, much better placed than the English.”

Talking out of both sides of his mouth again. Only Chirac would believe that unemployment and the fight against poverty are separate issues. Are we to believe that in Chirac's fairy world one can eliminate poverty with no one actually working or producing anything at the same time? Even the French themselves have lost respect for Chirac, his time on the world stage is coming to an end.

[agere_contra]

We endorse Sarkozy (however its spelt)

[Heartofsong83]

He seems like a good man - not the Nazi that Le Pen is, yet willing to endorse conservative ideas.

[dfwgator]

What's even sadder is that Chirac is about the best the French can do. You can bet his successor will be even worse.
