Oh my gawd I am weeping.

Glad Arno Klarsfeld lost too.

Klarsfeld had a safe right seat (never been held by the left since 1958) in the 12th arondissement of Paris, he only scored 44%.

One of the most unsettling aspect for me by the victory of Sarkozy was the feeling of seeing  redux of the Berlusconi and Bush victory, at least in the media game and the reaction of the electorate, left and right.

But the defeat of the hyped TV-VIP, Klarsfeld and the TF-Lawyer opposed to DSK is a comforting break with the election in Italy of countless hot Mediaset assets.

I wonder if it is due to the different elections rules (direct against list), or if the French are more resistant to the fascination of TV democracy.
Or if Frenche and Italian are the same, and Berlusconi was simply wrong and his mediatisation was a negative masked by the dynamic of his party.
