Sarkozy and Putin: No wounded soldiers on their watch

"Tout qui commence bien...."

This is a clip of a befuddled Sarkozy apologizing for arriving late to a press conference, stating that it was due to the length of discussions with Vladamir Putin. The Belgians picked this up first, and inferred that Sarko was wasted by saying that he had had more to drink than just water. Others have implied that he tried to keep up with Putin and lost.



I don't know. He has said before that he doesn't drink alcohol. He might also just be a befuddled new president late for an important press conference.
