Insult humbles French politician

[the eXiLe]

A row has erupted in France after a senior leader of the governing UMP party was caught on camera calling a female political opponent a "bitch".



"This is no way to talk about a woman or anyone else," said President Nicolas Sarkozy. The condemnation was echoed by female Justice Minister Rachida Dati.

The politician, Patrick Devedjian, made the remark while congratulating a party colleague for ousting the woman MP.

He has since said he "regretted his inappropriate interjection".

Mr Devedjian added that he had called the woman, centrist former MP Anne-Marie Comparini, to apologise.

The insult was filmed by a television company in Lyon, in the aftermath of this month's general election.

Mr Devedjian is seen congratulating Ms Comparini's UMP opponent, and adding: "That bitch!" - "salope" in French.
The footage quickly found its way onto the internet.

Great Idea EX.

Even better then a Yank asking where the war is would be a Brit who's pulled their butts out of two and whopped their little Nap at waterloo as well.

Well not wanting to pull my new hosts to bits, there was a ceremony on Omaha Beach today. They were asking people to go along as they were going to write...with people........

THANK YOU AMERICA - FRANCE WILL NEVER FORGET

As a tribute to the US Forces who fell in the liberation of their country.

I was unable to attend due to another prior engagement, but I thought it was quite a nice thing to do.
