Wasn't Minute a far-right newspaper, at a point? Or it's another battle in the FN war between the old guard and the young newcomers?

Minute has indeed been a far-right/fascist paper, and it is now to the right of the FN - an openly racist and fascist rag (it supported Gollnisch in 2011), which Panzergirl hates. For example, during the gay marriage fockfest, it claimed that there was a 'gay lobby' in the FN.

So Jean-Marie Le Pen will be great-grandfather? Ugh.

I hope Jean-Marie Le Pen stays alive and healthy until 2017, he is a major liability to his daughter.

I'd love to see a civil war ala 1998 opposing Panzergirl to Panzerdaddy. That would be epic.

In French news:

-The Radical Party elected Laurent Hénart, the new mayor of Nancy, as their president replacing Borloo. He defeated Rama Yade by a significant margin, but Yade is pissed because her side reports (via Le Canard) some fairly iffy things regarding member registrations exploding in very sketchy circumstances.

-The UDI is electing a president as well (to replace Borloo) in the fall: so far, the candidates are Jean-Christophe Fromantin (locally popular député-maire of Neuilly, head of the tiny personalist shell 'Territoires en mouvement', on the 'right' of the UDI and hates the gays), a tandem of Yves Jégo and Chantal Jouanno (two former Fillon-era UMP cabinet ministers who left for the Radical Party after being fired, both were in the minority of UDI members who voted for gay marriage) and Hervé Morin (leader of the NC, deputy for the Eure and former defense minister under Sarko; a stale and incompetent old party hack who has never done anything relevant ever). Jean-Christophe Lagarde, the leader of another UDI component (FED, which was founded by Lagarde & friends' gang of anti-Morin ex-NC members) and député-maire of Bobigny (93) may also run.

-Two candidates already declared for the UMP presidency: Bruno Le Maire (former agriculture minister, historically villepiniste, a fairly good and seemingly intelligent/competent young-ish moderate type who also really wants to be President some day; neutral in 2012) and Hervé Mariton (deputy of the Drome, former liberal-villepiniste - odd combo - who also was pro-Iraq in 2003, who most recently led the UMP's valiant charge to keep the gays from marrying; soft-copéiste in 2012, seems to be a useless fool). On an unrelated matter, Christian Estrosi, a longtime sarkozyste-turned-senior filloniste in 2012 who has since left Fillon’s clan, is now officially a candidate for 2017. Estrosi is the mayor of Nice and the UMP boss of the Alpes-Maritimes, he's also pond scum (wrote an instruction book for mayors on how to best beat up your local Roma) and a complete moron.

-Manuel Valls is on some PR op pretending to be a left-winger (by repeating Blum and Jaurès' name as many times as possible).

-My UMP deputy, Fredo (a total dolt) apparently wrote a book called 'Vous êtes prioritaires' ('you have priority'). The guy's idiocy is always stunning.

Lagarde is député-maire of Drancy btw, not Bobigny.

Hénart running the PRV is a just return of things in the jolly old city of Nancy, that his mentor and predecessor Rossinot has run for dozens of years as he ran the PRV.

I didn't think I would come to that, but there's no candidate I even have any respect for in the UDI race whereas there's one, Le Maire, in that case in the UMP one of all things !

Yeah, I've always had some sympathy for Le Maire, he strikes me as a fairly honest and simple guy.

French male teens appear to be a progressive bunch. At least in Nantes.

First time in a long while French people have made me proud. Smiley Unsurprisingly, it's young people, who 90% of the time are far better human beings than their elders.

When a guy with a Greek avatar calls the Socialist Party Prime Minister "Fuhrer", I agree.

It's gonna take a long time, but the only thing that matters is that all this process is going to drag in long enough to sink any hope of a candidacy in 2017.

Fairly,
Sarkozy is probably the worst president France has ever had since Albert Lebrun. Some of our former presidents were quite corrupt (Chirac, Mitterand,...). But they haven't damaged the reputation of France at the level Sarkozy did.

Has anywhere else in Europe saw their presidential frontrunner under arrest for two elections in a row? DSK, now Sarko.

Funnily enough, Berlusconi has never actually been arrested.

It's not like being arrested would stop him anyway. Bunga Bunga in prison, anyone?
