Conservative candidate Nicolas Sarkozy trumped Segolene Royal in the hotly-contested French presidential election, 53% to 47%. And 85% if the eligible voters hit the polls. . .the frogs may be little misguided, but they turn out to vote in numbers that make America look pathetically apathetic.
The White House has to be celebrating this one. With Stephen Harper as the PM in Canada, and now Sarkozy in France, The White House may have some friends. . .especially now that Tony Blair is hitting the bricks. And those pesky frogs have caused President Bush nothing but trouble over his adventures in the middle-east. You do have to wonder, when do the riots in France begin?

I actually like Sarkozy. The White House doesn't have that much to celebrate - he's still way to the left of Shrub. America is going to need all the friends it can get once that nitwit leaves office.
Royal seemed too old left. Even Maureen Dowd didn't like her (not that she likes anybody).
Drop me line next month if you're still up for lunch.
