Presidential

The news here is about a hilarious dust-up with the Pres, Nicolas Sarkozy, and a citizen at the big Agriculture Salon. We'll be going in a couple days, but I'm glad we weren't there over the weekend to hear such potty mouth!

When Sarko approaches while shaking hands with the crowd, the man on the left says (in ungrammatical French): "Don't touch me". Sarko replies: "Then get lost". The man: "You dirty me when you touch me". Sarko: "Then get lost, pauvre con." This translates roughly as "stupid a-hole", stupid sod, or the equivalent. (CVF note: closer to "f--k off, a--hole.")
