Nicoloas Sarkozy, France's President-Elect, was criticized by political enemies Wednesday after refusing to apologize for a post-election luxury yacht trip amid violent protests over the election result.

Sarkozy whisked his wife and son off for a tour around Malta a day after his election Sunday.  "I have no intention of apologizing",  "I'm taking two and a half days.  I don't think anyone can argue with that."

Former Socialist Justice Minister Elisabeth Guigou called Sarkozy's escapade "scandalous" and "indecent."

Let's see, the Socialists lose, their "scum" youth throw violent riots in the street, it is the winner's fault, and he should forgo a much deserved vacation after difficult campaigning to wring his hands over the violence caused by those who lost.  Perhaps they need a dialogue - can't we all just get along?

As usual, the left has everything backwards.  The perpetrators are to blame, not the President-Elect.  Throw the rioters in jail - better yet, use rubber bullets.
