  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Bruno Le Maire, who was Dominique de Villepins chief of staff but is now Nicolas Sarkozys minister of agriculture, has spoken out against Villepins persistent sniping at the government.

• Its Not Just Rama Yade

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Sarko and company are mightily ticked off by rumbling opposition within the ranks. And it isnt just Rama Yade whos getting the back of the hand (Fillon let her have it, apparently: h/t MYOS). Sarko let Jean-Pierre Raffarin know just what he thought of his disloyalty. Its good to know that the tough talk is not ...

• More UMP Trouble

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  If there is a fronde among older UMP males (senators--see previous post), there is a rumble among younger UMP women: Rama Yade has stirred the ire (envy?) of her somewhat senior rivals Morano, Pécresse, and Bachelot. Yade is of course more popular with the general public than any of the others.

• "Nos convictions délus enracinés"

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Jean-Pierre Raffarin is leading a revolt within the UMP against the reform of the taxe professionnelle. This is serious business for the local UMP officials, who stand to lose much of their revenue base. And this is a crunch that goes to the heart of the UMP coalition: Sarkozy and his friends are close to big ...

• Red in Tooth and Claw

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  French politics this week has been reminiscent of a nature film featuring wounded jungle beasts baring their fangs and attacking one another: "Je [Pasqua] suis un animal de combat. On ma cherché, on va me trouver. Jestime que dans cette affaire (Angolagate) la justice na pas bien fait son travail. Cest grâce à ...

• Villepins Game

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Dominique de Villepin seems to enjoy the little game hes playing : pretending that hes a serious rival--a "republican alternative," as he puts it--to his nemesis Nicolas Sarkozy. Yesterday he tried to plant a dagger in the back of another ambitious dreamer, Jean-François Copé, by insisting that he and the UMP ...

  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Speaking of traits that Jean Sarkozy shares with his father, Brice Hortefeux said: « Il a à la fois la passion et en même temps, il a la raison. Et finalement ce sont des qualités génétiques. » Pascal Riché observes that there are many other instances in which political figures on the right have ...

  The Brice Hortefeux Prize for Public Candor goes to the UMP official who said that Rama Yade would add "local color" to the Val-dOise : Elle a surtout détesté quune dirigeante UMP déclare quelle ferait plus «couleur locale» dans le Val-dOise. «Cest insupportable dentendre que je serai la candidate des ...

• On Jean Sarkozys Decision

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Polling commissioned by the Élysée showed that the EPAD controversy was a major irritant among voters on the Right. This was more trouble than the president had bargained on . A politician never wants to become the butt of ridicule, but the Jean Sarkozy episode was fast becoming paradigmatic for every kind of ...

• When Umpires Fail, Fans Should Take Over

  
  Jack of All Blogs — Authority: 108
  It is no secret that the umpires have been absolutely atrocious during the baseball playoffs this year. And don’t tell me that it’s the volume of HDTV sets and advancements in video technology that have brought the imperfections to light. Being an umpire is not difficult work. It requires concentration, a ...

• Jean Sans Peur

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  Jean Sarkozy will go far in politics. His withdrawal tonight from the race for the EPAD presidency was a sans faute . The young man may not be a rocket scientist or even a very promising law student, but he is a born communicator. Compare his subdued demeanor tonight with his exuberant pugnacity when he pressed his ...

• On Jean Sarkozys Political Talents

  
  French Politics — Authority: 484
  I agreed with Steves comment that Jean Sarkozy has obvious political skills. He is gregarious, affable, withstands tough questioning with aplomb, and expresses himself reasonably well. But his electoral performance to date has been less than stellar : Dans une circonscription acquise à la droite, le score de Jean ...
