Blaque Jacques Shellac Chirac had a "vascular accident" last night.
Politics aside for the moment, one has to wonder what happens when one has a "vascular accident." Did his red blood cells crash into the white cells? Did a vein protest a ticket along the roadside of Blaque Jacques' aterial system, thereby causing a crash? Did his arteries collapse, like a freeway that's structurally unsound?
The possibilities are endless.
But, quite seriously, I think this means Blaque Jacques hasn't been imbibing the red wine in "moderation." Fausta wondes what this means for EU/French politics. I'm wondering what this means for the French whine wine industry.
The consequences could be quite severe.

Posted by: Fausta at September 5, 2005 10:54 AMI remember sitting in a cafe just off of the Latin Quarter when Jacques was elected. "Good, the conservative candidate won. That should be helpful for everyone involved." The last few years have proven that to be a very false hope. It's pretty pathetique when a French conservative would be considered a left wing nut job in the stateside 50. Hope he's okay though.
