What Did Sarkozy Stand For, Other Than Election

Well, he stood up for the US/Israeli Axis on the foreign policy stage for one thing. But the rot set in in May 2007 at Fouquet’s restaurant when he celebrated winning the Presidential election. Sarkozy and his rich friends dined ostentatiously amidst the flashing of cameras, Rolexes and champagne glasses. He later spent a short holiday on the Paloma, the yacht of his friend Vincent Bolloré, one of the richest businessmen in France. Sarkozy had said in early 2007 that, if he won the presidency, he would spend some time meditating or gathering his thoughts, perhaps in a monastery. The desire to party instead put a curse on his presidency that he could not shake off throughout his five-year term. It remains to be seen if Carla Bruni will leave him this week and move in with Francois Hollande. So much for La Republique De Bling.
