Can You Imagine if Bush Did This? "Chicago Boyz" passes this along: PRESIDENT CHIRAC stormed out of the first session of a European Union summit dominated by a row over French nationalism because a fellow Frenchman insisted on speaking English. Einstein was right: Nationalism is an infantile disease: When M Seillière, who is an English-educated steel baron, started a presentation to all 25 EU leaders, President Chirac interrupted to ask why he was speaking in English. M Seillière explained: "I'm going to speak in English because that is the language of business." Without saying another word, President Chirac, who lived in the US as a student and speaks fluent English, walked out, followed by his Foreign, Finance and Europe ministers, leaving the 24 other European leaders stunned But it gets better: Embarrassed French diplomats tried to explain away the walk-out, saying that their ministers all needed a toilet break at the same time. LOL or even ROTFL doesn't quite cover it. billmillan.blogspot.com
