The French give me a warm and fuzzy after they reject the EU decisively on Sunday. Yes, yes, I know that their reasons are hardly pro-Americanism, but with Paris I settle for results and discreetly look away over motives. I take what I can get.
But Chirac then goes and burns up my moment of fraternity and all that by naming that highly refined bureaucrat (he can insult America in five languages, I'm sure!), de Villepen, as prime minister.
Thanks a freaking lot, Paris.
