Me thinks the English speaking countries came in a little too soon and saved their asses… their sissy language has scrambled their brains, had the Brits not saved their asses they would all be speaking German now and… would be as quiet as them, busy making (good) cars or something

Lol @ france. For years they have been trying (together with Germany) to get a ultimate president for the EU. Then they tried to get a law passed that their word weighs more than the word of some other countries in the EU. Still they cling to their “own” EU parliment house. One is ine Brussels and the other one is in France which forces the MEP’s to commute between those two locations because seating times have to be equal. (about 200mâ¬ extra inte travellers costs / year). They don’t want to give that up, even after 1 000 000 EU citizens signed a petition to get it to one seat only (basically they would have shut down the French parliment house). Now they vote in a law that is totally contradictory to the EU. I don’t really understand why the EU exists because everyone will do what they want when it fits them. If the EU fits then it’s used otherwise it’s totally forgotten.

The funny thing about the 1 seat petition is that if the EU constitution (which France pushed very hard for) would have passed they would have had to deal with the issue.

from oneseat.eu
“Article 47 on participatory democracy in the proposed constitution for the European Union, which the European Commission supports, wants the citizens in the European Union to become more active and to participate in the debate on European issues.”

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING FRANCE?

Scaramouche:

Thanks for the clarification. When I read the title, I was all like “whaaaaat? Of all the hypocritical douchebaggery!”

Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if Irish Assmonkey himself HAD done it.

Hey Henry, wrong Bono. This is friend politician Guy Bono, not our favourite tinted glasses wearing asshat. Mind you, i nearly fell off the chair myself when i read the article title.

Why exactly does everybody seem to believe that Carla whats-her-name had anything to do with this?
You REALLY think this is about the French president trying to score some quick ass from his wife?

What’s really interesting here is: isn’t Bono the guy who was bitching about how evil “piracy” is, and urging things like this?
Or was that his publicist? (Not that I listen to U2 — they suck.) But I seem to remember Bono as being one of the RIAA’s stable of whiny corporate-label spokes-bitches in regard to how evil p2p is.

Exactly. This Bruni-Sarkozy whoring happened when they met with Denis Olivennes.

Prediction: If HADOPI ever goes down for good, Carla Bruni will divorce Nicolas Sarkozy.
