Sarkozy misses an opportunity
Sarkozy has been caught running his mouth about some of his international counterparts (short term link from El Pais):
Zapatero: “Perhaps he’s not very intelligent”.
Obama: "Very bright and charismatic” but “without a stance” on many issues.
Merkel: "Had no option but to assume the same position as me” when she saw the state of
her banks and auto industry.
And Brown?
Nothing. Not a mumbling word. While Sarkozy doubtless deemed Brown unworthy of comment, it would have been amusing to have seen Brown skewered one way or another.
