Billy Crystol went to press Friday with the hope that the EU, or the arrogant bits, would be overthrown by a popular revolt. He needs a clue-by-four that the UDF and the UMP are his kind of people, and they are the ones that lost, and it wasn't the EU Treaty that was rejected, it was "an internal market where competition is free and undistorted" (deregulation as a constitutional principle) and "a highly competititve social market economy" (end of the post-War labor-management peace as a constitutional principle) that was rejected.
What a moron. Maybe he'll start a "Bretagne Libre" movement, like all the other failed royalists before him.
In the WAPO George Will works the same shallow puddle. The elites hit a lamp post. There was no kitchen table issue, just a dance of princes interrupted. Temporarily.
In the LaLa Times Gary Schmitt manages to find that democracy is in short supply in Europe, and the defeat of his kind of people in Europe brings no tears to his eyes.
It doen't make me cry either, but then, I'm not a Neo-Con. Decoding the French referendum is an intelligence test for American capitalist lackeys. If they cry "ouch!", they're not stupid. If they don't, they are stupid.
