<<France roared a resounding "No" to extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen on Sunday in a presidential election that swept conservative incumbent Jacques Chirac to victory with more than 80 percent of the vote.





It was easily the biggest landslide in the 44-year history of France's Fifth Republic, with all of the country's mainstream political parties and a multitude of interest groups rallied behind the 69-year-old Gaullist for the head-to-head runoff.

As with most third-party candidates in the US, a man like Le Pen has 'some valid points', which creates enough votes to gain centrist attention, where something might, eventually, be done.

It doesn't validate all his points, or his pointed comments, which occasionally stray into unvarnished bigotry, with a heaping side dish of iggerance. He is useful as an aberration, in that he may provoke the effete complacent to arise from their whine-induced fog long enough to address an immigration problem before France becomes a self-parody and sinks into third-rate Naziism.

His temporary rise ends if Chirac gets busy with the mandate he just got. If Chirac fails, Chirac will be the next to exit the stage. Neither, imo, is worth voting for nor do either deserve any respect.
