He is shitting his pants and you should hear him "merde" this and "merde" that, and "il est un fascist."

I know it is very tempting to ask what in the hell is wrong with these people but remember that, just like when we selected Bush, there are still a whole lot of sane people over there in France and he will not last long if he does become Bush's new poodle.

In any case, having this kind of leader in power if we get a Dem in 08 may not actually be that bad of a deal. Their slightly tilting "right" politicians are about equivalent to one of our very tilting left ones.
