Let's hear it for Le Pen

And I thought it was a new model from Bic.

Apparently the media feels a need every so often to show that it knows France is still there. I think it was inculcated in them in high school world history. Or maybe, because of all the negative stuff about anti-semitic violence, they felt they had to change the subject. Whatever the reason, the stronger than expected performance of Jean-Marie Le Pen in the French primary is today's big story. The main thing he is known for, besides having a girl's name, is having once said, or written, that that Holocaust was a "detail" in the history of WWII. So that tells us what? That he's a Frenchman!
