Take dat Marlene and Gilles

Seems that the French President decided that brains were more important than ego.  Nick Sarkosy made the Premier of Quebec, Jean Charest, a Commander of the Legion of Honour, France's highest honour given to people they need something from.

The leaders of the PQ and the BQ, back in Canada took great offence with something that Sarkozy had to say to the press at the solemn event.  He was asked about Quebec separation and rather than respond with Vive la Quebec Libre, he answered: "Do you believe the world as it faces an unprecedented crisis needs more divisions?"

Well poor old Gilles blew a hairnet over that.  He and Marlene got together around the old MacIntosh (French programs only, please) and fired off a missive worthy of their station.  "No head of state has ever used such contemptuous epithets as yours to describe Quebec's independence movement."

A little fly on the wall told me that when Sarkosy read the letter he responded with, "Tough noogies and I never liked poutine anyways."

Maybe it's time for Quebec to stay and Gilles and Marlene to go?
