Last night, Rudy Giuliani mentioned his friend, French President Nicholas Sarkozy:

He praised the plans that French president Nicolas Sarkozy wrote about in his book “Testimony,” a critique of the French government. Sarkozy, like Giuliani, favors reducing corporate and income taxes, giving people more private options and letting parents — rather than the government — make the choice about where they want their child to go to school.

This morning brings news Sarkozy is separating from his wife. (They also separated for a period in 2005; if they divorce, this would be the second for each.)

Well, other than trouble on the marital front, Sarko is a great role model for Republican candidates who want to pitch themselves as the candidate of change, even though they’re the same party as the current chief executive.
