Who Cares?

From Wired News:
PARIS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac named Dominique de Villepin as prime minister on Tuesday after accepting the resignation of Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Chirac's office announced.

Raffarin tendered his resignation earlier on Tuesday after French voters rejected the European Union's constitution in a referendum on Sunday. Villepin is a loyal ally and former interior and foreign minister.
So it sounds like Chirac appointed a yes-man. Big fucking deal. It's France. Who cares?

I'm sure there is more significance to this as it relates to the EU constitution, but I haven't really had the time to explore all the ramifications of ratifying it as it stands now. I will have something on that in the near future, though. In the meantime, I'll take any chance I get to poke some kind of fun at the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, aka the French:
Q: Why did the French plant trees along the Champs d'Elysées?
A: So the Nazis would have some shade when they marched into Paris.

I hear that the Germans are looking to vote in some woman from the Christian Conservatives ... oh yeah, that would be soooo nice. Break the back of the Franco-Germanic Whine Fest.
