Look at Richard Nixon, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld. Anyone see any trials on the horizon?<br /><br />The picture of Sarkozy almost cost me a computer. Fortunately, I was able to turn my head and spit hot coffee in my lap instead.<br /><br />What a nice-looking bunch of writers. And Emily, too!

Her guilt was a foregone conclusion. It seems that Chirac's is as well.<br /><br />It is a strange phenomenon of politics that sometimes the worst of their ilk can be rehabilitated by the people who seem to forget quickly why the guy was thrown to the mob in the first place. Nixon wasn't impeached because he resigned before the paperwork was done. He somehow became the respected elder statesman of American politics.<br /><br />The person who needs to fear the quillotine is the one who published Sarkozy's picture. <br /><br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-70735477175058824212011-03-08T08:55:09.030-05:002011-03-08T08:55:09.030-05:00Thank God for your final six photographs.
