C'est la vie! Can't interrupt that famous August vacation, can we?
If these French are typical, what is there about modern day France to be admired? I will continue to avoid French products and wine. Far be it from me to support these misfits. What a horrendous shame!
"Mr. Mazeyrie said many elderly people were left behind by vacationing families. Some, he said, informed of the death of relatives, postponed funerals, not to interrupt the Aug. 15 holiday weekend, and left the bodies in the refrigerated hall."
The French surgeon general, Dr. Lucien Abenhaim, resigned on Monday, the sole political victim of the crisis so far.
Today it was the turn of President Jacques Chirac, who was on vacation in Quebec for most of August, to take the heat. Mr. Chirac and the cabinet will review the crisis on Thursday.
But the popular daily Le Parisien asked today why Mr. Chirac, who expressed consternation at the bombing on Tuesday of the United Nations compound in Baghdad, in which at least 16 died, was silent about the heat wave, which killed thousands.
"To begin with, he will have to justify himself," the paper wrote. "What happened?"
Chirac is not fit to be a leader in the Western world.
