European Tribune - Comments - Tuesday Open Thread

I note that according to some reports back then, the Bliar candidacy was smoke and mirrors from Sarko, who behind the scenes supported Juncker all along - and pushing him into the limelight too early, Sarko may have prevented Bliar from any top jobs in the EU. (I didn't give too much credit to these reports back then.)

I still don't. Too much credit to Sarko for Machiavellian machinations, I think. His policy wizardry in the last year suggests more thought with the little head than with the big one, as my Jamaican friends would say.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
