Story wouldn't be complete without some idiot in France blaming America

from CNN:

"This is not a triumph for Chirac," said political analyst Dominique Moisi. "People didn't go to vote."

Moisi called the apathy of French voters an "Americanization" of the French political system, that caused a "huge personal defeat for Jospin."

oh yeah, now it's OUR fault the French gave Le Pen a spot in the Finals, and the prestige and respectibility he doesn't deserve.
