More Likely To Be Served A Molotov Cocktail Than Champagne In France Today

I saw Segolene Royal on the French news tonight. She is the un-Hillary ..polished, articulate, smart. No less a hard core Leftist than her French counterpart.

Sego would lead France into an abyss ten times worse than that described in the above article. Totally unprepared to deal with the reality of Islamists on the march.

Prayers going up for Sarkozy.

Well, she is polished but she's had her missteps. She got booed at a Socialist Party meeting a couple of weeks ago and didn't handle it well. There was another incident where she made some type of snippy remark to a Socialist Party worker and had to apologize for it. (I don't remember the details, but my husband will.)

I find it funny that the only person I've talked to here that admits to supporting her is an American. He says Sarkozy "scares" him. He hates George Bush with a passion, though, so that gives you his political leaning.

Thank you for the beautiful photograph, the gracious heart-felt sentiment and expressions of pleasure you are having there in the City of Lights. Best wishes for continued joy and delight in all things French while you are there. Hopefully the Republicans will have prevailed and still control the House and Senate when you return. :)
