Judge countries by their leaders

I do believe that the people a country chooses as their leader says a lot about the country. The presentational Obama, the hard as nails Mother Merkel, the rather raffish Berlusconi, the unknown whoever down in Australia.(now identified as the big fish Kevin Rudd)
Chirac who lead our country for 12 years.

He is now a pleasant approachable well respected old gentleman.
What does this one say about the country he lead for 10 years?

Spiv heaven?

  1. Sorry about that rosbif. I think that photo of your ex wunderkind is amazing. Rich as croesus consulting work doesn’t improve his looks.

  2. Your wonderful country is now led by a serial sex pest dwarf! I expect amongst the seven dwarves, he is known as Gropey!

  4. Sarkozy embroiled in bribery enquiry

    French President Nicolas Sarkozy was facing questions on Monday about his role in Edouard Balladur’s 1995 presidential campaign after French newspaper Liberation linked Balladur’s campaign to a deal selling submarines to Pakistan in return for funding.

  5. Bliar should be facing an awful lot of questions, but given the rather convenient common(ly forgotten) law system its all under the carpet.

    That’s French charm for you bearsy.

    Oh! No it isn’t. Do not kid yourself…

    I am the epitome of English ‘fair play’ and honest dealing – so far you haven’t contravened the WP ToS …

  7. well thank you Boa and of course Bearsy has come far closer to contravening them than I have. I see your partner more as my ‘epitome of English fair play’

  8. Bravo22c,

    Can’t see him lasting for too much longer. He has slipped into some of his old ways this week and I reckon it can only go downhill from now on.

  9. Don’t upset diko or moo or he will go out and kick over a few British Soldiers headstones, there are enough of them in the country he has inflicted himself, herself now? on.

  10. OMG with the vast number of brits killed by Joan of Arc you’d think there would be masses of graves that I could go kicking. But no there none to my knowledge it seems that we fed you to the fishes.

    That is in very poor taste!

  12. Evenin’ all. Sooooo, Dickie, when does Chirac’s corruption trial start?

    OZ

  13. A honest quote from Jacq:-

    “As far as I’m concerned, war always means failure.” Jacques Chirac, President of France.”

    and of course in the case of France, defeat! 🙂

  14. Maid:
    No, no confusion. Berlusconi is a crook as well (allegedly)

  15. Christina – the trouble is if we were to post pictures of all the great British leaders we’d run out of space in the media store… 🙂

  17. Well, I think the last five quotes have it well sorted…. to diko, in he words of Ronnie and Reggie, ‘you are well stuffed son’.

  18. Just seen this farcical post. Chirac – crook, hypocrite, egotist – typically French.
