It's not surprising, seeing as how France's (and Europe's) biggest TV station, TF1, is owned by Nicolas Sarkozy's buddies, and Mr Sarkozy recently passed measures that the President of France (erm, so that's himself then...) should have the power to appoint the head of the "public" channels in France - France 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Five channels potentially under the control of a very media-obsessed President! This explains why anything that may criticise or ridicule him very rarely makes it to the airwaves. So we're fighting back from our corner!
We first heard of this while watching British TV this past weekend, otherwise we'd have never known.
A wooden stool! And that's in addition to the platforms that are built into his shoes...
Apparently Obama's chopper is quite a bit bigger than Sarkozy's too. Helicopter, I mean...
Speech time at the recent 65th anniversary D-Day commemoration near Omaha beach (well done Gordon Brown for screwing that up by calling it "Obama Beach" in his speech...you make me proud to be British!). Emma made the same joke about 20 minutes earlier so it wasn't even original! :p
Feeling overshadowed by President Obama's impressive 6' 2" stature, little Nick at 5' 5" (an inch shorter than Napolean...) required some help in order to measure up to the charismatic US President...

Wow, that's amazing. We are like mushrooms growing in the dark and being fed "fertilizer", to put it politely!!! I love the stand, how "little" his self esteem is!!! Love the chopper comment!!!
