Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Sarkozy promised he wouldn't run for President, but that was a long time ago. & now the polls put him just a tad ahead of sexy wonderful Segone Royale the "socialist" hopeful. This is because her "gaffes" are getting her into trouble with the serious types who bother doing polls. She says "un-presidential" things (very much ironically in a De Gaulle "Montreal speech" way) like "Quebec should be free!" and the yankees are fascists and not minding too much if Corsica is independent too.
Still makes a bit of a change since everyone was upset about her brother (an ex DGSE french equiv of MI6) being on the team that blew up the "rainbow warrior". Oh yes, her gaffes are "ok" now.
read about that here in english :-

& if you like me do really find her "c-u-t-e" here's a website in french dedicated to her "gaffes"
http://www.segolenades.com/
if you like that & you are a good contributor and obviously read french yet can write english - why not give us all a profile of Ms Royal?
But the subject of this "update" is the news that the Italian fascist Gianfranco Fini, leader of the "National front alliance" in Italy has been picked from a long list of hopefuls to preface the Italian translation of Sarkozy's book "Mein Kampf".
sorry. "obviously that should read Sarkozy's book "testimonies". They put mayonaise on their chips.

The various scandals which lurk under "clearstream" and to some estimates chalked up 1.3 trillion dollar accounting errors - seemed not to touch Sarkozy. He knew very little. We recall how de Villepin was accused of bugging his office & monitoring him to ensure he knew very little. Such accusations naturally extended to Chirac whose Richeliue dauphin deVillepin wouldn't really have left out of the loop. That's not the type of person France needs in the driving seat or changing the baby's nappie. The Chirac Presidency's last card was played last year. You have your president. Now vote or not vote but don't vote for the wrong one this time. There's a lot of money to be accounted for. It's your money.
Thus is the torch passed. Now we don't all get excited and talk about nihilism, exclusion or anything like that just yet. 367 burned cars is not a record. Nor is it indicative of a pattern. We'd need more data to start seeing a pattern.
