Sarkozy’s increasingly leftist government

Tiberge at Galliawatch, the American right’s closest observer of French politics, has this to say about the still-forming Sarkozy presidency:

Nicolas Sarkozy will soon run out of socialists to draw into his ever expanding rogues gallery of left-wing luminaries. With unerring accuracy he has managed to bring into his court some of the most troubling, troublesome, atheistic, anti-French, anti-western individuals ever assembled under one roof since the days of the KGB. Out of all the gifted and patriotic men who still live in France, he chooses those who will serve the cause of French decline, culturally and morally, if not economically.

I’m sure I’m exaggerating, and that these people all have some good qualities. The point is that he is mocking his own constituents with astounding vigor.
