sarkozy

our favorite foreign president, nicolas sarkozy has done it again.  in a staged photo-op to boost his popularity in france (he currently enjoys very little), sarkozy was photographed only with people shorter than him (le petit is 5′ 5″ tall). according to britain’s daily telegraph news 20 workers at a car factory “said they were called in to replace workers who usually man the section of the facility because the president’s aides only wanted workers who did not reach his 5-foot, 5-inch height.”  the french people were not buying slick nic’s tactics.  marianne, the french political weekly called the event a product of  sarko studio “saying the president is attempting to boost his popularity with hollywood techniques. le figaro, a newspaper usually supportive of sarkozy, criticized the “casting” process of picking only shorter workers to stand behind the leader.”
