Sarkozy Goes To Work

French President Nicolas Sarkozy isn't incredibly popular at home, and he has had his share of scandalous reveals since taking office. A recent state visit to the United Kingdom, however, shows that he can nevertheless turn it on when the occasion calls for it. I will admit that this is sort of silly, but reading this story made me long to have a head of state that can occasionally show up to work and do things right on the diplomacy / international relations front. Can you imagine President Bush speaking to a joint sitting of the Houses of Parliament and evoking statesmanship?
