Vive La France!

Hopefully, Sarkozy can keep his momentum and grand vision for France going at a good clip. The real France sounds like its coming back- the France we knew circa 1776. Here's a portion of his victory speech to the nation:

Je veux lancer un appel à tous ceux qui dans le monde croient aux valeurs de la tolérance, de la liberté, de la démocratie, de l'humanisme, à tous ceux qui sont persécutés par les tyrannies et les dictatures. Je veux dire à tous les enfants à travers le monde, à toutes les femmes martyrisées dans le monde, je veux leur dire que la fierté, le devoir de la France sera d'être à leurs côtés.

(Translated from French)
"I want to launch a call to all those in the world who believe in the values of tolerance, of liberty, of democracy and of humanism, to all those who are persecuted by the tyrannies and by the dictators, to all the children and to all the martyred women in the world to say to them that the pride, the duty of France will be at their sides, that they can count on her."
Sarkozy's got an unenviable task laid out for him, and the leftists will no doubt be trying to take him out relentlessly. Go get 'em, tiger! Vive la République et vive la France!

Normal Americans recognize that the French election is a function of domestic concerns in their own country, and doesn't have a damn thing to do with the United States.  The story is altogether different for those infected with Republicanism, however.  They're like virginal 16-year-old girls in their first prom dress, jilted by the dreamy French lovers they thought would be theirs forever. 


"Oh, those dirty, rotten, disloyal cheaters!! They'll be sorry! We'll show them!!  From now on we'll call our potatoes Freedom Fries!  They'll see how it feels."


But now, with an election having nothing whatever to do with America, the sweet Republican maidens have been vindicated at last. It's just like Sally Field at the Academy Awards:  "You like us. You really like us!"


Wrong. There’s not a politician in all of France that would allow a Republican into their country for the sole purpose of cleaning up all the dogshit in Paris. Everyone in France - left, right, and center - recognizes that Bush is a petulant imbecile and that Republican base that supports him is a collection of fanatical boobs and the village idiots of the United States.
