Re: Sego-Sarko Debate Opinions (4.00 / 6)

Sorry to break your hearts, but we, the French, will be stupid enought to elect Sarkozy on Sunday because we are absolutely delighted that he will reimburse eyeglasses and dental implants. This is all we care about ... and Sarkozy tactically proposed this incredibly generous offer in the closing moments of the debate, because on top of being stupid, we also have the memory capacity of a redfish.

Dental implants? Now you're talking. That's gonna cost me €2000 if I decide to get it done here.

Re: Sego-Sarko Debate Opinions (4.00 / 2)

Dental implants are the least our enlightened nation can do, since "France has never committed crimes against humanity [...] France has never surrendered to totalitarian passion [...] France has never committed genocide" ... these are the words of Nicolas Sarkozy, as reminded today by Patrick Klugman in "Sarkozy's lost honour", in the "rébonds" (rebounds) pages of Libération (http://www.liberation.fr/rebonds/251331.FR.php).

ps: I am not losing my temper, I am just angry.

I thought the French never got angry. Or maybe that's something else.

Don't you point your finger at me! I couldn't get dental implants because Sarko wasn't president!

I'm not angry, I'm just shouting.

If we don't all have perfect teeth how will we compete with the rest of the world?

Obviously a slap at the dentally challenged Brits. Have some more sweets.

Shouting huh? Well Royal should have gone further and proposed free hearing aids. This is my conclusion: to beat Sarkozy, you have to be a greater populist than him. No amount of logic or good intentions will work.
