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

Voltaire: "You want to kill me because I am a Frenchman? Am I not already punished enough in not being an Englishman?"

What an a**hole Chirac is.

I have almost grown to like the guy. Every time he opens his mouth The French seem to take a big step down the evolutionary ladder. France is becoming Europe's Quebec; it would be interesting if they become the first nation expelled from the European Union.

Chirac continues to put that big ol' foot into that big ol' mouth. Will he never learn?

"Just remember that if it wasn't for France's help in the Revolutionary war, we would be speaking English."

This is unintentionally funny--unless you were trying to be ironic...

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

Especially tasteless considering the terrorist bombings that killed innocent British last week. The UK is in mourning and Chirac pops off with this crap. What a despicable, heartless bastard.

What is "children poverty".By EU standards in a country that had a zero income there would be no poverty.In the EU the poverty rate fluctuates depending on the average income of the country.Those living on less than 40 per cent excluding housing are immediately living in poverty.Two children living in two separate countries could have identical lifestyles and incomes and assets but one could be considered living in poverty and the other would not.It is all about what the meaning of "is"is.

Actually the funnyness was intentional. It also works if you consider speaking American different from speaking English.
