Shirtless presidents?!

Wow – when I logged on to Drudge’s website just now, I certainly wasn’t anticipating seeing these two pictures: Russian president Vladimir Putin on a recent trip to the Siberian mountains. France’s president Nicolas Sarkozy, on his visit to New Hampshire from a couple of weeks ago.(That photo, by the way, was airbrushed by the [...]

 

Er, bad move, Sarko

Posted by: ST on June 29, 2007 at 9:14 am » 2 Comments

As I’ve written here before, I believe conservative French president Nicolas Sarkozy is a breath of fresh air for France – but not when he’s giving distinguished awards to liberal moonbats like Babs Streisand: (AP) Barbra Streisand performed her first-ever concert in France this week – and was rewarded with a medal of the Legion [...]

 

Round 1 of French parliamentary elections: Sarko’s conservatives win

Posted by: ST on June 10, 2007 at 10:27 pm » 1 Comment

Fausta’s got updates galore. Austin Bay’s following the results closely, too. The second – and most important round – will be the final round, which takes place on June 17. If the conservative wave continues and is successful next week, it will make it all the more easier for Sarko to implement the sweeping reforms [...]

Absolutely love it (Hat tip: ST reader Lorica) Update: Here’s my lame attempt at altering the House cafeteria menu:

 

What Republicans can learn from Sarko’s victory

Posted by: ST on May 8, 2007 at 8:35 am » 8 Comments

Pundits, politicos, and bloggers are all buzzing about the French presidential election on Sunday which saw Nicolas Sarkozy, the conservative Frenchman, handily defeat his Socialist opponent Ségolène Royal. Sarko will be handed the reigns of power in about a week. Still up in the air: Whether or not Sarko will have a conservative government alongside [...]

By 5 pm French time, the turn out was 75%. The French Election blog will be posting poll results later today, so if you’re interested in seeing the results of this election, keep checking back there. Pajamas Media is also following this election closely and will have updates. I’ll post updates as well once I [...]

 

The countdown to Sarko versus Sego

Posted by: ST on May 4, 2007 at 5:30 pm » 6 Comments

I wrote back in November 2005 that a “French connection” friend of mine told me to keep my eye on French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy – that Sarko was the ‘man to watch’ whenever the French elections rolled around. Looks like my source was right on, because Sarko is the favorite to win this Sunday’s [...]

 

Going down to the wire in France

Posted by: ST on May 1, 2007 at 2:18 pm » 1 Comment

The Times Online reports today the desperate measures that France’s Socialist candidate for president Ségolène Royal is pulling out all the stops in order to defeat the conservative Nicolas Sarkozy. The type of demonization taking place is something Democrats here who have done similarly would be proud of (emphasis added): Ms Royal, the left-wing candidate [...]

 

Anti-Sarkozy forces in France paint him as a Nazi

Posted by: ST on April 26, 2007 at 4:39 pm » 3 Comments

Wow. Just wow. Of course, comparisons to Nazis happens too frequently here, especially from liberal icon George Soros and affiliated Dems/groups, but considering that this IS France we’re talking about here … I mean, you’d think they’d know the huge differences between Sarkozy and Hitler, to the point that it’s pointless to even compare them [...]
