“GAUCHE CAVIARS”
French presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy trashes the Left:
He summoned memories of the student revolt of 1968, saying: “In this election, it is a question of whether the heritage of May ‘68 should be perpetuated or if it should be liquidated once and for all.”
If elected, Mr Sarkozy promised to break with the “cynicism” of the “gauche caviars”, who he blamed for a crisis of “morality, authority, work and national identity”. Citing the recent mini-riot in Gare du Nord, he repeated his accusation that the Left “systematically takes the side of thugs, troublemakers and fraudsters against the police”.
They’d have adored David Hicks. Meanwhile, in other Left-annoying developments, good news emerges from Iraq.
