#1 Many observers pointed out that several intellectuals backing Sarkozy had already veered to the right in 2002 by approving the Iraq invasion.

It looks like JFM and anonymous5089 aren't the only intelligent Frenchmen... and haven't been. It'll be very interesting to see how this plays out post-election, given how oriented the French are to how their intellectuals think. Wouldn't it be wonderful if France follows in the footsteps of Canada!

#2 I love the words the left uses to describe itself:

marinating in its own narcissism.

the left's emptiness was even greater than her own.

accusing the intellectuals of waging an insane campaign of denigration and insults
