#1 Gives frank responses to total assholes? I like him. Can he come over here and be President?

#2 I knew the French would not stay down forever. Telling a dumb ass to get lost is a long way from the Battle of Algiers, but it's a start.

#3 Good for him. Being civil to savages only erodes our civilization.

#4 Treating socialists as what they are - something less than human beings?

Despite his other faults, I like this Sarkozy guy.

#5 Best part, he did it with a smile.

#6 There is a danger here, however: national political figures are supposed to be above this. One can get away with this occasionally, but only occasionally. No one wants to have a national leader who is a bore. Reagan (for example) understood this, and only rarely snapped at people. Ditto GWB. Even Bill Clinton understood that he had to keep his anger under control, and mostly did so in public.

So Sarko had his fun, but it should be the last one of these for a while.

#8 a Frank Response would've been to smile and crush the man's larynx with the edge of your hand. I'm learning to tone it down, though
