I mean, how much worse can it get in the Pinko-Frenchy lexicon?

Nothing to worry about - I am sure it's a huge compliment everywhere else...

I'd take it as a badge of honor, except that I'm a paleocon.

More on this theme:

He has been scornfully nicknamed "the American" or, even worse, "the neocon"--now a common epithet among the French. In a country where anti-Americanism is a national sport, his adversaries are quick to point out his pro-American views.

Aahhh, the French. Such a nice bunch.

ai - he wouldn't have been elected dog-catcher if he were anything close to a neocon. This is just the NYT's way of making insulting remarks about him.

Case in point:

Although he has a bellicose air, he has never suggested that if he had been president at the time he would have sent French troops to fight in the American-led invasion.

“I have been in every meeting Mr. Sarkozy has ever had on the subject, and no, no, he would never have sent troops,” said Mr. Martinon, who also serves as Mr. Sarkozy’s foreign policy adviser.

Indeed, Mr. Sarkozy has long defended France’s decision to stay out of the war, citing the bitter lessons of his country’s tortured history in Algeria and Vietnam.

Chirac looks like the dealer from the blackjack table in Grand Forks last Saturday. That guy is everywhere.

Sarko wants to have it both ways. He sucked some serious US at Columbia last year. Not quite Chirac selling pipes in Harvard Square, but those were other days...

Selling pipes, or giving? (If this flies by you, JJ, ask PP for a cogent explanation.)

About the map: I'm with the French on this one. Color the pinkos pink -- why blue like in the US of A?

Faire du pipes is what I meant AI. You need the urbandictionary en francais?
