Via the BBC: Insult humbles French politician
A row has erupted in France after a senior leader of the governing UMP party was caught on camera calling a female political opponent a “bitch”.“This is no way to talk about a woman or anyone else,” said President Nicolas Sarkozy. The condemnation was echoed by female Justice Minister Rachida Dati.
The politician, Patrick Devedjian, made the remark while congratulating a party colleague for ousting the woman MP.
He has since said he “regretted his inappropriate interjection”.
Especially since it was captured on videotape…
And most especially because:
The footage quickly found its way onto the internet.
Call him the French George Allen, I guess.
