Sarkosy comes out of a meeting with the Russian President looking a little the worse for wear and appears to veer dangerously between hilarity and terror. The last European to have met with Ex-KGB officers in London met a horrible painful death by irradiated nuclear poison. The moral of the tale is, hold a knife to your throat before swallowing anything offered to you by a Russian in Government. I felt almost sorry for him, watching it. He claims not to be a drinker. From the looks of it, it seems true, because possibly having had just a little, he almost comes unstuck. Handles himself well, I think.
UPDATE: The official response was that the President of France was out of breath, having rushed to the Press Conference knowing he was running late from his lunch. The truth is too anodyne sometimes.
