Fin de règne

It's getting really bizarre. Now even the judge in the Villepin chienlit admits he (the judge!) has been lying.

The affair involves all the traditional ingredients of a French political scandal: misuse of the intelligence services; rivalries within the defence procurement industry; and poisonous hatreds between colleagues within the government.

OK, enough already of this merde. Sarkozy should get outta there before he gets dragged down with all these clowns -- looks like he's gonna do it, sooner rather than later...

To the outside world, the sorry state of affairs presents a picture of a France in chaos, further compromising the nation's traditional role as a European leader after the humiliating French "no" vote in the referendum for a European constitution last May.

"It is hard to understand what is happening now between, on the one hand, the two top men in government and, on the other, the president of the Republic," said Capdeviel. "It isn't obvious for a foreign observer."

You don't say!

I gotta give you that, JJ -- you were ahead of the curve on that, especially with the sleazy oil-for-food payola. Even so, it's rather amazing how putrid the whole system has gotten there. Who will clean up these Augean stables?
