CHIRAC POSES NAKED FOR COVER OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
‘Desperate’ Attempt to Win Back American Fans, Critics Say
French President Jacques Chirac startled diplomatic circles today with his decision to pose nude for the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Mr. Chirac, his hands strategically covering key parts of his anatomy, appears buck naked on the magazine cover with controversial phrases and epithets such as “cheese-eating surrender monkey” written on his body in what appears to be a magic marker.
Reached at his home in Paris, Mr. Chirac said he took the unusual step of doffing his duds for Entertainment Weekly after losing a coin toss to French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin.
While some in the State Department called Mr. Chirac’s bid to win back American fans “desperate,” the French President defended his decision: “It’s not about the nakedness. It’s about clothes getting in the way of labels.”
A spokesman for the French President later acknowledged that Mr. Chirac had no idea what that statement meant.
Secretary of State Colin Powell, who just last week said that the French would be “punished” for opposing the U.S.-led mission in Iraq, said today he was not sure whether Mr. Chirac’s naked photo shoot fit the bill.
“After looking at Mr. Chirac naked, it’s hard for me to say who’s punishing whom,” Mr. Powell said.

All I can say I hope they airbrushed Jacques as much, or more, than they did the Dixie Chicks!

Yeah, where is that pic? People on diets could run off copies and use them for place mats on the dining room table-maybe stick a copy on the front of the fridge.

Ugh!,sorry I asked. Did the quick thinking sailor save the eyesight of many by quickly covering the Chirac, or had the poor guy been too long at sea ?
