Formidable!

MHNN (New York)- The Mental Health News Network (MHNN) has learned that French President Nicholas Sarkozy wasn't the only guest hosted by George Bush in Kennebunkport this past week. Former NASA psychiatrist and therapist to dysfunctional Arab leaders, Dr Pat M Santy was in attendance as well. The White House extended the invitation to Dr Santy at the request of Mr Sarkozy who had expressed interest in meeting the world famous psychiatrist. The French President indicated he would invite the renowned author of Carnival Of The Insanities to Paris for consultations.

"Every week I read Carnival Of The Insanities and every week I laugh. The good doctor is funnier than Ismael Haniyah pretending to be civilized, even as he earnestly declares his intent to kill Jews! Ive read Dr Santy's books and the transcripts of the group sessions she had with lunatics in the Middle East. I wanted to meet her and invite her to Paris. I believe she can offer a lot of insight to our diplomats. Too many of them obsess over the patisseries, boulangeries, and cheese as opposed to what is really important."

The French president made it clear to Dr Sanity that he considered well grounded and realistic psychological insight critical to solving the challenges world leaders face. He noted that he George Bush were on the same page when it comes to energy policy.

Of course the American president and myself are in full agreement when it comes to reducing energy consumption. There has been far too many resources wasted promoting Al Gore's ode to stupidity. One could argue that much of the global warming we are experiencing today can be attributed to all the hot air emanated by the left wing chicken little blowhards!

After a moment, Sarkozy offered up a clarification.

Mon Dieu, that was a joke! It would appear as if French humor might be a bit sophisticated for this crowd! HA!

When asked by MHNN what exactly Sarkozy hoped to discuss with Dr Sanity, the French president was not shy.

We in France need to reattach ourselves to reality. Between five and eight weeks of vacation is the norm. Add to that a least 12 days a year of paid holidays, a 35 hour work week- with no paid overtime allowed! That 35 hour work week gives Frenchmen another 22 days of holidays. Italy's even more insane work/holiday rules make us look good.

We hope Dr Santy can start a national debate on work ethics.

We'd also like to hear her views on the Middle East, the Euro and Pasta all'Uova La Bolognese- you know, the great issues of our time.

When asked, the French president promised to have another press conference recounting his meetings with Dr Santy, with wine and cheese, of course.

The interview was cut short after Sarkozy announced he was off to read this week's Carnival Of The Insanities. He noted that he found the weekly effort funnier that George Bush mispronouncing 'nuclear' or Hillary Clinton's efforts to be perceived as credible and honest.

Not even a French President could get away with hiding almost a thousand files on political 'enemies' in his desk and then with a straight face, claim no knowledge! And that's funny!
