Sarkozy is a genius, Obama is a slum bum.

Sarkozy, we in Charlottesville love you! Lesley Stahl got personal, and you got outta there - c'est finit! Sante! It's obvious Stahl was trying to get in your pants, her thin charade about your wife was clearly a ploy to discuss your behavior below the belt... what a slut! Anyhow, 60 minutes is a terrible show and only dummkopf's watch it. Your ratings are certain to rise up on both sides of the pond. Trust me, real American's don't ask about wives, girlfriends, or mistresses unless absolutely necessary - how declasse! Encore, Encore!

Obama - you showed up in C-ville with your white stretch limo and little blinking lights on the side. Big pimpin in the south, huh? Your welcome reception came from a punk "you bring an apology for that Virginia Tech trash talk?"
of course not. Your posse looked around sheepishly and you acted like nothing was said. Your ego could fill most rooms, and probably got a nice stroking at the amphitheater... if economic violence and physical violence are the same thing... well I got a $1 and it's like Axl Rose said "Get in the ring mfr"

Ex-mayor Blake Caravati Blathers to Charlottesville-Besancon in Private E-mail!

Pull up a chair y'all . . .

It's almost too much to bear. Almost. The first envoy arrived June 4, 2007:

"If, you have an opportunity in the coming weeks, I would like to speak with you about your Besancon-Charlottesville webpage. As I am sure you are aware there are numerous factual errors in your rendition about the origination of the Jumelage. It is these and only these that I would like to try to correct. I am sure that you agree this Jumelage, all jumelages, are good things for our City and Country. So if we maybe work together to tell both sides of the story fairly, we all will be the better for it. I have absolutely no concern for the more lurid parts of your web page, although I think they are misplaced and have nothing to do with the Jumelage. I will give you a call this week in hopes that we can arrange a time to speak . Hope all is well. Blake Caravati 434-242-7832"

To which Charlottesville-Besancon.com cheerfully replied on June 7th - stating a willingness to meet with the "stinky French cheese" man himself and would be open to discussing any matter of his concern, provided a tape recorder be present to save such a precious encounter for posterity 'n hilarity.

Held our collective breaths for a full two weeks... no reply... so to the blog-o-sphere it goes.

and now line for line....

"As I am sure you are aware there are numerous factual errors in your rendition about the origination of the Jumelage."

What a dummkopf (click here for pronuciation) statement. Here at Charlottesville-Besancon.com we spend hours researching the prats, pendejos, heros and hucksters of Charlottesville - hyperlinking their follies, adventures, and feats. Geeks to the core, we dig on getting our facts straight, and footnote/cite every story. Besides, the truth is MUCH funnier than anything our puny imaginations could come up with. Obviously if we were aware of ANY factual errors we would immediately correct such mistakes.

"It is these and only these that I would like to try to correct."

Send some links. Send some data. Put up or shut up... Stinky.

"I am sure that you agree this Jumelage, all jumelages, are good things for our City and Country."

So dense. Denser than dogwood. Denser than Osmium. Dense like a degenerate dwarf. No, Stinky, while some jumelages may not suck, the whole point is that this one does. It stinks. It reeks. It blows donkeys from up on high. It shoots defecated snicker bars into one's trousers.

"So if we maybe work together to tell both sides of the story fairly, we all will be the better for it."

Feeling better already... though you're encouraged to show us your data. Stinky is blustering because we have told our side of the story as a result of Mrs. Andrée "Show Me The Money" King proudly touting her/his/their side of the story all over Charlottesville, slandering and libeling to her heartless heart's content.

"I have absolutely no concern for the more lurid parts of your web page, although I think they are misplaced and have nothing to do with the Jumelage."

Au contraire, Stinky, the lurid bits have everything to do with this Jumelage. That is the point. Instead of thinking the outrageous behavior of Mrs. King is misplaced, Stinky thinks the reporting of the situation is misplaced. Yes, it is a lurid story. In fact, there's almost nothing about this Jumelage that is not lurid, detestable, rank, and bogus. Perhaps you'd have preferred some scribble on the $400,000 Free Speech Wall? That is soooo stinky, Stinky!

Seriously - google it. Yahoo it (both @ #1 at the time of this post). The private party you've thrown yourselves on everyone else's nickle is crashing and burning... we're bringing the marshmallows and graham crackers.
