What a Letdown - France Hosts G8 and G20 Next Year, On the Cheap

Nick Sarkozy said he was going to host next year's G8 and G20 summits for just a tenth of the billion-dollar boondoggle foisted on Canadians by Stephen Harper.

It turns out Sarkozy overestimated.   France has now budgeted just $68-million for both events.  That's about $932-million shy of what our own Furious Leader doled out.

According to Reuters, the G8 summit is to be held in the French Riviera city of Nice.   That's nice, non?

What's wrong with Sarkozy, I guess he's not enough of a ideologue like the Harpercons...

What, no new sidewalks in Rouen? No new gazebos in Marseille? How about a new lake in Bordeaux? Clearly the French no nothing about how to do it up right - or they lack Tony Clement to help them spend their money.
