Unacknowledged Legislation
“I told you a long time ago that I would find a way to give them a fist right in the face. That bunch of scoundrels, they caught it.”

He's the One Who Wanted To Be American…
From today’s Guardian:
The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has lived up to his tough-talking reputation in an extraordinary outburst against two photographers while on holiday in America.
A furious Mr Sarkozy, sporting only his swimming trunks, leapt into a boat carrying the paparazzi and began shouting at them after he spotting them taking pictures of him.
Unfortunately, the president’s tirade - delivered in French - was entirely lost on the photographers, neither of whom could understand a word he was saying.
