Sarkozy to replace Bush

Some things will be missed about George W. Bush: his language acrobatics, with absolutely great comments like "...the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice!" or "I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep on the soil of a friend" (when visiting Denmark), or his many funny faces, will give less humorous flavour to political satire of the world.
So since world politics need an object to be a punch-ball of satire, I would hereby like to nominate French president Nicholas Sarkozy; he is a very funny man, about whom weird stories abound, and who has had strange appearances (I don't know if he really is drunk, but he does appear hilariously confused!). I have recently been watching the French TV show Les Guignols, and they have hilarious satires of Sarkozy.

I guess we lost Bush to make fun of, but I think Sarkozy will continue to provide material!
Merci!
