#1 Chirac is a crook. Anyone who thinks all this political corruption could have taken place without his consent, knowledge and participation is simple minded. This is one of the things that is so aggravating about the man. He trys to come off holier than thou, yet is by all apperances, just a second rate, dishonest crook.

The landmark ruling was made by cronies involved and related to his political party. Remember in the Total ELF Fina scandals his name was prominent . That is what this "ruling" decended from, massive looting of the state controled petroleum giant.

As I have said previously Chirac must stay in office or face prosecution and ruin. He has no option other than this and will do or say anything to stay elected.

My disgust for this vile person knows no bounds.

#2 ..and heap embarrassment on the French president.

I don't see how that's even possible.
