La France Propre

On Wednesday evening , on prime time tele, Nicolas Sarkozy, to no ones surprise announced his  candidacy for re election as president of France. We were not impressed, but the UMP released this as the official campaign poster and slogan. A "blank canvas" so to speak. Nicolas staring vaguely off into the "future" The larger version shows a seascape which within hours had been identified as a shot from some where off the coast of Greece. How unfortunate. I won't even bother you with the immediate pun, France Forte, Frankfort...
With in hours, the fun began.
Of course, it was sarko who went there in his embarrassing speech. He made the unfortunate and faal reference to himself as the captain of the ship. He really should have known better after the idiotic comment by his Minier of Defense 2 weeks ago comparing Francois Hollande to the captain of the sunken Italian Cruise ship.

Then the French version of Sgt. PepperSpray made his embarrassing appearance. There was a little graphic slip up in one of the biggest internet clothing catalogs in France a few weeks ago. Children romping on the beach and then this guy emerges, accidently un edited out of the photo in the background. Since then, he seems to be appearing everywhere.
And then this version, Sarko efficiently eliminated with the aid of popular toilet bowl cleaning product....
and then, well, my version, La France, get off of the lawn!
