Sarkozy Caught Swearing Whilst Glad-handing the Crowd at the Salon International de l’Agriculture


BBC: French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been caught on camera swearing at a member of the crowd at the annual farming fair in Paris.

The video clip, which has been posted on the internet, shows a man at the Salon International de l'Agriculture refusing to shake the president's hand.

When offered Mr Sarkozy's hand, the man draws back and says: "Oh no, don't touch me, you'll dirty me."

Mr Sarkozy snaps: "Get lost then you bloody idiot, just get lost!"* Sarkozy outburst at farming fair >>> By Emma Jane Kirby, Paris

*“Casse-toi, pauvre con” — which can roughly be translated as “P*** off, stupid sod”, or “Get lost, silly b*****”. [Source: The Times]
