In France - Politicians being politicians
Politicians all over the world are apparently cut from the same cloth...
The Associated Press's Elaine Ganley writes in this article "French Political Scandal Threatens Chirac":
"In what is likely the final year of his political life, the 73-year-old president — who served as prime minister 30 years ago — could see his long climb to the summit of power wither to an ignoble end. Even members of his center-right party are getting impatient with his refusal to address the controversy publicly.
'The president of the Republic, where is he? What is he doing? Has he disappeared?' said lawmaker Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, of Chirac's Union for a Popular Movement party."
