[Lonesome in Massachussets]

All the French needed to do is elect a short leader!

DeGaulle was tall and a very determined soldier in the field during the Fall of France. The key is to not be led by a Frenchman. Charlemagne was German, Napolean was Corsican, Jean D'arc was not a man.

Corsican...check

Short...check

Not a man...doubleplus good

Aside from possibly her age Alizee seems to fit the ticket.

Then again how old was Jean D'Arc again?
