Valery Giscard d'Estaing: Fuck you very much

The guy who wrote the European constitution has come up with the perfect way to handle a constituency that doesn't seem to appreciate what he's wrought. If the French say 'no' to the constitution on Sunday, he'll just have to ask them again! After all, that's what very mature kids do if their parents won't give 'em more candy. They continue whining.

Never mind that Giscard d'Estaing is directly contradicting statements by prime minister Rafarrin of France, who said yesterday there won't be second chances. Well, I guess it's only fair to expect Giscard d'Estaing to be a little overbearing. After all, we're talking about a guy who thanks himself and his chums in the preamble to the constitution:

'GRATEFUL to the members of the European Convention for having prepared the draft of this Constitution on behalf of the citizens and States of Europe.'

As reader Jay so eloquently put it a few months ago: 'Wherever he is, you know Thomas Jefferson is laughing his ass off at that part. That'd be like him writing as the first words of the Constitution "Copyright 1776 TJ Enterprises, Inc." or "All Hail us!"'
