From the Economist:
A wave of cross-border mergers is sweeping across Europe. But as globalisation and no-holds-barred capitalism gather strength on the continent, France and others are trying to stiffen the barriers to economic integration on “strategic” grounds. The latest example of this is the attempt by Dominique de Villepin, the French prime minister, to prevent an Italian bid for Suez by merging it with another French utility.
Reached for comment, de Villepin noted that he likewise suspected the Italians of caving into the “Frankenfood” movement—a program of genetic modification designed to increase the world’s food supply actively resisted by the French—because “there is simply no way you can convince me that fusilli comes out of the ground in that perfect corkscrew shape every time.” Still, the prime minister denied that any of what he called “Dago perfidy” had anything to do with the French merger. Said de Villepin, “there are far easier ways to put filthy Wops in their place, believe me. Me, I like to sleep with their wives.”
They could really fix the Suez issue by invading Italy and Egypt.
de Villepin could then “convert” to Islam, a few short years later he’s in Moscow gobbling up natural gas leases.
I think the little guy has a future.
Geez. This is news? The French elite class has always looked out for Fwance first… well, OK, itself (in whatever way it takes to maintain their power) first. I mean, the EU was, to the French, never anything more than a way to get everyone else accustomed to the idea that, in fact, Napoleon was right, it was just his means to that end that was wrong.
I lover watching the “National Champions” issue come back to bite these hypocrites in the economic butt.
Easier to thwart progress and defend your own turf rather than try to improve your competitiveness. Economic growth is over-rated, oui?
Old Guard EU Motto – “Fight the Future!”
France generates over half its GDP from government spending.
Just the attempt to make that work mathematically for more than a decade or two makes my head hurt.
So the EU plans to unify the bureacracy of the SuperState across nations while keeping its potential competition hobbled by restrictive borders?
Brilliant!
Shouldn’t that be ‘Frankenfood’? (Referring to a monster made by man’s fiddling with nature, of course.)
‘Frankfood’ would, naturally, be French. Or possibly straightforward, even blunt, in which case it would seem to fit in well here.
Yes, that’s what it was supposed to say. Fixed now.
I’m tired.
Me, I like to sleep with their wives.
I’ll bet that’s how those rumours started – the ones that de Villepin might actually be a man, I mean. Of course, with the castrated EUnuchs, it’s always quite difficult to discern gender.
Kinda cute the way Jeff has Dominique pretend he’s using sleep as a EUphemism for sex though, since we all know that any woman his feminence “slept” with would actually be sleeping.
So, does that make them Deux faced?
