A View from Abroad from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 05 Jan 2008 10:03 pm
Earlier today, while I was running around Philadelphia frantically searching for a new home, I received this Blackberry'd message from a dear friend of mine in Paris:
OK... But the first pioneers in Iowa were the fucking French right ? This is wy "des moines " wich stands for "from (or the) monks"!!!! OPUS DEI my friend !!! Anyway if I were an Amarican maybe I lwould cast my ballot for the black guys who seems much more clever than the ex-fat !! I can tell you my Friend !! As far are the rep candidates are concerned, the 9/11 guy seems already out of the race (just my opinion ...and a big mistake to snob the Iowa... What a pity !!!) the ex- heroe pilot is too old , the Mormon is just too Mormon (the rihgt to have several wifes in the US is no politically correct right ?). On the opposit side Hillary seems to have a big handicap : her husband who sometimes forgets to shut his big mouth.... Edwards ? Too much too soon : a USD 400 fee for a hairdresser anois American who usually vote for the Dems.... OBAMA !!!
This friend of mine is conservative by French standards, but could easily be a Democrat in the U.S. I'm not sure which media influences got him to this place, but I know he regularly consumes CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, and BBC in addition to the French press.
