Sarkozy to Bush: we're a family. What a lovely one, indeed...

Al Jazeera, 12 August 2007:

Sarkozy to Bush:
'"Do we agree on everything? No," he said, an apparent reference to the divisive Iraq war.

"Because maybe even within a family there are disagreements, but we are still a family. And we may be friends and not agree on everything, but we are friends."'

Well, every leader says the same to Mr. Bush. Prodi and Brown did.
But when it's Sarko to say it - I don't why - I suspect this lovely "family" is in real tune.

Of course, Sarkozy is a good politician. He knows Bush is at its worse as to American and global satisfaction. He knows Dems are going to win.
Sarko likes to win. He's not a loser. So he won't expose himself more than necessary with a man who's making a mess of his Presidency.

'Bush, Sarkozy, and Bush's father, the former president George Bush, held a private meeting for about 50 minutes before lunch.'
Can you imagine the three?

Bush likes the man. Perhaps he knows he's far more practiced as leader than he's always been. But he's too isolated now to show.
'The invite to the Bush family estate in Maine is unusual. Bush usually invites foreign allies to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, to show a special relationship.'

Well, you know, friends DUers, we're lucky enough Bush is at the sunset of his experience.
This 'family' and the victorian portrait of the three having a chat (Georgy, Senior Bush and Sarko) causes a shiver down my spine.

1. ...and anyway Cecilia Sarkozy doesn't like hot-dogs and hamburgers...

BBC, 11 August 2007. I had missed it!

"The lunch included hot dogs and hamburgers, as well as corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, and fresh blueberry pie.

No mention was made of whether french fries were on the menu. Some Americans started calling chipped potatoes "freedom fries" after Mr Chirac opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The French president's wife, Cecilia Sarkozy, was meant to be at the lunch but phoned First Lady Laura Bush to say she and her children were feeling unwell and would not attend."

The bronchitis lasted barely 24 hours. Cecilia is in perfect shape now.
So there are very "ugly" people who think she doesn't like Bushes more than hot-dogs and hamburgers...

I'm a bit ugly in this case...
