Doesn't Chirac remind you of the ultimate oily Frenchman, oozing phony bon homie? That may not at all be the reality, but Chirac looks as though his clacking false teeth are almost ready to fall out in his anxiety to appear (APPEAR!)to be our friend !
I feel sorry for the French people to have such a materialistic vulture for president, while WE (in the great United States of America) have the vibrant, honest, forward-looking, genuinely caring, BRILLIANT President George W. Bush.
