This is what happens when you let protestors determine policy. This is what is happening all over our country today. Students (lead by some teachers, I might add)are walking out of classes and disrupting traffic with no consequences. It's "mob rule" now. Even McCain admitted that the protestors helped Senators to make up their mind about the immigration bill.

All right! Puppets!!! And not only puppets, but BURNING puppets! Burning puppets of De Villepin and Chirac! We've got serious demonstrations here.

Remember the Marple Rule:

The irrelevance of the demonstration is inversely proportional to the number of giant puppets involved.

I just noticed that Reuter's put de Villepin's age in the article. I have no sympathy for anyone who is 52 years old, a liberal, with tendencies toward Communism, and above all, stupid.

This is a good reason for never giving in to communism/socialism/progressivism/democrats. It's next to impossible to wean people from their beloved welfare state.

Absolument!

I am very scornful of most French politicians (Sarkozy, the obvious exception) but, truth be told, they are in a completely impossible position. Villepin is going to lose this fight and severely damage, if not end, his political career by trying to do the right thing. (Couldn't happen to a nicer chap /sarcasm)

And given the propensity of the French to take their politics to the streets, the country will never change without passing through a period of severe upheaval. They are not on version five for no reason at all.

(This may be a preview of what is to come in the U.S. when, finally, the promises of big government can not be kept.)

Hmmm...
Insurgents rioting/protesting in France....
Insurgents rioting/protesting in the United States..

It could be the new progressive tactic..
Cause one thing is certain it IS(they are) the progressives..

Muzzies, Mexicans, Progressives are they different?..
Maybe not.. It could take YEARS for republicans to connect the dots..
If EVER...

Sheesh! That looks like a bottle of Brane-Cantenac.

He needs to toss that over here and not waste it. I've only got a couple of bottles left.

I am probably one of the few who know just how DELIGHTED you are to see burning puppets!

I am just dying laughing here!

How many of these French protestors are illegal immigrants?
