Our new President, Mr Sarkozy, is a different animal. Whilst Chirac was tainted by corruption scandals, Sarko (as we affectively call him) was determined to give the Presidency a little bit of honour back. A touch of class. A bit of je-ne-sais-quoi.
And, so far, he has succeeded.
You might've already seen him drunk at the G8 press conference, and walking out on 60 Minutes, calling his assistant a "little kid", "an imbecile", and saying the interview was "stupid and a waste of time".
A few days ago, he went to the annual "Agriculture show", which is a big deal in France. It's a like ritual, with all the cow-fondling that it invloves. Everything was going great, until he told a farmer who refused to shake his hand to "fUck off, you ****"
See, it's not just you guys
