Here's why George W. Bush likes Nicolas Sarkozy so much
Posted by Jill | 7:05 AM
They truly are kindred spirits:

France's next president Nicolas Sarkozy holidayed on Tuesday in Malta ahead of launching a radical reform programme, while back home cities across the country were hit by more violent "anti-Sarko" protests.

Sarkozy boarded a yacht in the Mediterranean island with his wife Cecilia and their 10-year-old son Louis on Monday at the start of a three-day break, far from the hectic post-election atmosphere in Paris.

The family arrived there on a private plane after the 52-year-old right-winger's election victory on Sunday. He won 53 percent of the votes to 47 percent for his Socialist rival Segolene Royal.

Sarkozy, who has relentlessly manoeuvred his way to power over the past five years, had pre-planned the break to recover from his gruelling campaigning and to mentally ready himself for France's highest office.


I'm sure the working classes in France are encouraged by their new president so desperately needing a vacation before actually doing anything.
