Back to my original point, it would seem that Chirac
*does*, in fact, plan to take his petty troubles at
home (everyone here knows that the recent vote rejecting
the EU Constitution was really a rejection of Chirac)
out on others, and derail the G8 talks.  What a putz!

And he's getting just the reaction he probably hoped
for when he made his silly food remarks in public:

Chirac denounced as 'racist creep' by British press  
 
LONDON, July 5 (AFP) - British newspapers on Tuesday condemned 
French President Jacques Chirac as a "nasty, petty racist creep" and 
someone who "has lost his marbles" amid reports he scoffed at 
British food.

Chirac reportedly said British cuisine was the worst in the world 
after Finland's and joked "the only thing they have done for 
European agriculture is 'mad cow'" at a French-German-Russian summit 
Sunday in Russia.

The Daily Telegraph ran an editorial under the headline: 'Tut, tut, 
Mr Chirac.'

"Jacques Chirac, the embattled president of France, seems to have 
gone a little off his rocker," it said.

Chirac's reported comments, which French officials have not denied, 
come at a time  
 
when he is embroiled in a battle with Britain over the European 
Union budget and is troubled at home over the rejection of the EU 
constitution.
