How Do You Say Ouch In French?

B B B they hate America and Bush! LMAO

SARKOZY'S VICTORY MESSAGE TO AMERICA: 'YOU CAN COUNT ON FRANCE AS A FRIEND'...

See Fausta and also PJM for updates ... and wait to see if the Paris burbs start to burn. They may, but they are going to one day no matter what. There is going to be much work for Zarko to do if he genuinely wants to move France in a new direction. The vote breakdown reported: 53 % - 47 %.

This was not only a win for the French, it was a win for the USA. Yea baby....

Let's see.
To the North, Canada.. Conservative.
To the South, Mexico.. Conservative.
Germany.. Conservative.
France.. Conservative.

Oh my, I'd say that's a "trend".

Place your bets on the UK now.

I hope lb is right about the UK, as Brown is a warmed-over TUC type.

The Guardian laughably describes Royal as "moderate-centrist" and Sarkozy "right wing." From their infra-red [euro-style political color spectrum]perspective, that is probably what they perceive---but the sane part [non-Guardian/Independent] part of the highbrow Brit press sees Sarkozy as more of a Thatcher than Royal would have been perceived as a Blair.

Sarkozy has a mandate, after 86% of the French electorate has spoken. Let's hope he employs it to carry out the Thatcher-type reforms needed. And doesn't let the Paris street theater and the banlieux fake him out.

hope i'm wrong; hope i'm just being too cynical....but i get nervous when i hear a frog making noises representing "loyalty" and "honor".

it's just a >little< too close to the old LA thing: Q: how do people in LA say 'f*** you?' A: they say 'you can count on me'.

Hillary take note that being female is not enough to win.
