De-Nile is a river in France. . .
Clive Davis (via da big guy) pulls out a quote from Dominique de Villepin that made me go "Ah-ooogha?"
"In France during the 2 weeks period of unrest, nobody died in France. So, I think you can't compare this social unrest with any kind of riots."
Um? Hmmmm. Seems to me that's playing a little fast and loose in light of this:
"The tough new measures came as France's worst civil unrest in decades entered a 12th night, with rioters in the southern city of Toulouse setting fire to a bus after sundown and pelting police with gasoline bombs and rocks. Earlier, a 61-year-old retired auto worker died of wounds from an attack last week, the first death in the violence. "
So? Was there a resurrection or something? Did I miss it?

UPDATE: The deceased's name was Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec (via The Herald). Maybe someone in de Villepin's office should learn how to use Google News before they send their boss out to make statements that will make him look. . .um. . . French.
