This Le Pen/Chirac debate reminds me of a few years back, here in da Big Easy,... when Republican David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, received 32 percent of the vote, while Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former governor who bragged about his gambling and had been indicted twice on federal racketeering charges, got 34 percent, both eking out more votes than the "scandal free" incumbent Republican governor Buddy Roemer, who received 27 percent. Roemer would have easily beaten either of them in a head-to-head race. Of course we took the "lesser of two evils" and Edwards was elected again after already serving as basically a known crook. "Krook-or-Klan" runoff, you decide. Then, to top it off, after being re-elected as a know crook Edwards once again couldn't keep his hand out of the cookie jar. ... This time he WAS convicted along with his son, for taking bribes (consulting fees ;^)) related to casino contracts. ...whoops, sorry... no politics ;^)
