Chirac's Popularity Continues To Fall; While Sarkozy's Rises

Click on the title for an article in the Guardian about the French President's fall from grace, while his Interior Minister begins to gain some traction with the French people.

"It is not much fun being Jacques Chirac now. Deeply unpopular at home, his only chance of adulation will come this week when his plane lands in Madagascar for a two- day state visit. There, at least, he will be treated with the respect befitting a head of state."

I wouldn't bet on it. The cockroaches will all be hissing.
