Sarkozy

The Plank, a blog run by The New Republic, has a nice play-by-play of Nicholas Sarkozy's speech today before Congress. I didn't follow the last French election all that closely and know little about the man beyond what is reported in the American MSM, but he certainly has a knack for rhetorical flourish.

The TNR post hits most of the high points, but here's the full text of the speech as well.
