Just how much of a pig is Jacques Chirac? This former contender for leadership of the free world, and perennial pal of Yasser Arafat, appeared in Moscow to receive Russia's highest honor, the State Prize. It was awarded him by Russia's presidential stooge, Dmitri Medvedev. Chirac, in accepting the prize, praised Russia for "having chosen the path of democracy." The ceremony was attended by Russia's effective dictator, Vladimir Putin. The State Prize includes a million rubles, currently 27,000 euros.
Equally amusing, it turns out that in French, Putin's last name is spelled "Poutine". In Canada poutine is French fries with gravy, and is the cultural equivalent of nachos.
