It's time we opened our eyes wide, took an icy shower and looked reality in the face: we are in decline, going down a slippery slope. Never happen

Yeah, that was rather non-Eurocentric of him to say.

This guy is an idiot. Losing the Olympics is the least of their problems. He is as stupid as the rest of the government. The only reason the Olympics mattered to them is because of the high profile, international publicity aspect. The French problems run much deeper than anything that could be resurrected by some positive PR generated by the Olympics.

"We French are pathetic losers, says ad chief" And it's not like they haven't had any practice.

There are a few Frenchmen that have understood what Liberty American style means and values it more than the false liberty of the French enlightenment.

The reason they lost the Olympics is because the IOC realizes there will be a lot of social unrest in France coming up in the next few years. Muslims are breeding like rabbits and the local French women can't abort babies fast enough. Abortion and socialism is a recipe for disaster.

Boy, Krugman has the gift of timing, doesn't he? With luck, the Times with get an Op-Ed from this froggy and then give Kruggie a much-deserved heave-ho.
