Sarkosy uber alles...

A high cold wind is blowing thru Wingnutville USA, nobody answers their letters and all they can get on TV is Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama's smiling faces. So the election of a two fisted rightist in France is about the only good news that US conservatives have gotten since November of 2006.
No doubt the Hannitys and Savages and Ingrahams will all be mindlessly chortling on the radio this afternoon.
In truth there isn't much here to rejoice about, Sarkosy isn't so stupid as to send the Foreign Legion to Iraq and his much ballyhoo'd desire to improve relations between France and the US sounds much like De Gaulle's old policy to act as an independent go-between.
And anyway, President Sarkosy is gonna have his hands full just trying to get the French to work a thirty seven and a half hour work week.
But like I said, it's a lowering sky in Wingnutville so any port in a storm.
