I have the hauts fonctionnaires in mind more than the elective clowns.

And if you are correct about the population, then it's good news we have Sarkozy. With his polls in the crapper, that ADD weathervane will do whatever pleases the electorate.

I agree with DoDo and Jérôme and Martin on Atlanticism being "undead". I also agree with findmeaDoorintoSummer that this should be a diary. But this will be the 23rd comment under the "rant" so a diary now would require people to cross-post their comments.

ET 2.0 feature request: the ability to "detach" or "clone" a comment as an article. One can abstract a diary as just a child of the "home" root-node, like a comment is a child of another comment, or a diary.

The European Commission staff don't have any illusions about working with the US. I am not sure the same can be said of the Commissioners or other political (as opposed to technocratic) appointees. The same is probably true of EU-15 diplomatic corps and politicians. On the new member states, I don't know. It appears their bubble hasn't popped yet.
