on 14 January (Why so long? Perhaps it takes awhile to arrange moving vans?) with regard to Number Two, so I'm betting Valerie is getting dumped. The report said that she was "upset and humiliated." The comments at the site, from French citizens, were mostly of the "horn dog" and "Who does he think he is, preventing the freedom of the press, at this rate we'll have all the press freedoms of North Korea" variety.

This guy is about as popular as Dumbya was in his last year--I think he's polling around 23 percent...which leaves him ripe for jokes about how he should be "poling" less in private and working for the people to increase his polling numbers!
