Sarkozy On Charlie Rose

Apparently Nicolas Sarkozy will be tonight's guest on the Charlie Rose Show. Definitely take a look if you get a chance. He's an articulate and charismatic speaker, always good for a memorable soundbite. Don't believe me? How about this:

His most colorful comments concerned Turkey, whose entry into the European Union he opposes. Sarkozy insisted that Turkey was in Asia Minor, not Europe, interjecting: "Excuse me, but is Mexico part of the United States?" He added that Turkey's refusal to accept Cyprus as an EU member would be like a country's seeking to become part of the United States but saying, "Let's do away with California first."

This guy might very well end up being the next French President.  And I have a hunch that we'll be turning to the French more and more in the coming years to help repair some of the damage we've done in the Middle East. So he's definitely worth watching.
