Le Pen complains about the infernal Sego/Sarko couple

According to today’s Figaro, National Front leader Le Pen thinks he has a pretty good chance at the French this year - of not only creating a wedge between the ‘infernal Sego/Sarko couple, but running all the way to the head of the class and the French presidency.
If only it weren’t for that ‘darned’ media. Claiming the media isn’t giving him his fare share of coverage, he gives higher points to internet.
No one can forget that he toppled over the apple cart already with a whopping 20 percent wedge that knocked Socialist Lionel Jospin out of the final vote a few years back. We had Ross Perot (who had the opposite effect by clearing the way for Billy Clinton past George Bush). Ross had it all figured out when he said: “I’m all ears.”
How can Le Pen expect the Media to give him equal time when Sego/Sarko are so easy on the eyes.

Meanwhile Segolene Royal is playing coy when it comes to a very SERIOUS issue. The parking ticket reprieve. This is definitely something that can never come to pass in the US - but it’s our loss. When a new president comes into office in France, all your past parking tickets issued on the predecessor’s watch are are no longer valid! That means if you can hold off paying your parking tickets until the elections, you get to start with a clean slate. Sarkozy has said that he will definitely not allow this practice to continue. Segolene is undecided. It seems like a no-brainer to me. Even if I don’t have a parking ticket, it seems like a friendly way to start a new administration. Now if they would just throw in a glass of champagne.
