Don't pay attention to what Sarko says but to what Sarko does.
  • Back to a more progressive taxation (and a repeal of the "fiscal shield")? Nope...
  • Scale back the police state, spying on the citizens and deployments in other African and Middle-Eastern countries? Neither...
  • Amend labor laws to the benefit of the employees rather than the employers? In your dreams...
  • Stop blaming the dark-skinned foreigners and deporting undocumented immigrants? You gotta be kidding...

As we say in France: It's not the weather vane that's been turning, it's the wind...

The neo-lib mantra was selling well until last year, so there you had Sarko. It's out of fashion today? No biggie: I'll give you the "European socialist", bitches...

"French Che Guevara"? Only in the fantasy world of Rupert's galaxy...


Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

...Not to mention the "Cherchez la femme" angle... Really pathetic.
