Thrice-married French President Nicolas Sarkozy went to the annual farm fair in Paris this weekend and insulted the crap out of some guy who didn’t want to shake his hand. A journalist caught the whole miserable exchange on video, so now the whole world can hear Sarkozy saying something that sounds just wonderful but apparently means “Get lost, dumbass.” Shocking video footage, after the jump!

John Hart, communications director for Sen. Tom Coburn, to his collegues, on his boss’s desire to investigate a company that employs the son of Sen. Ben Nelson: “This will shut that f—er up… I can’t wait to send an In Case You Missed It to Nebraska press that will be forwarded to a–face.” Coburn’s legislative director Roland Foster had the reply-all follow-up zing: MORE »

President responds to question from BBC Political Editor with hilarious jokes about his bald head and how much he hates him. [E&P]

Former presidents rarely talk shit about their successors, according to the New York Times, except for when they do, which is kind of often. This is why it was such a shock to hear Jimmy Carter accurately point out how terrible and stupid this current administration is. MORE »

This is a lesson in why a) politicans shouldn’t carry Blackberries when angry/drunk, b) politicians shouldn’t have the email address of journalists programmed into said Blackberries, or c) politicians should be better at hiding their massive corruption. Bob Ney, drunk dialer:

In two rambling e-mails sent from his Blackberry device to Copley News Service reporter Paul Krawzak, the Republican congressman from Ohio ridiculed the veteran reporter, challenging his ethics and mocking the 5-foot-7-inch Krawzak as “big man.”

Ok, we’d really like to get our hands on the full emails. We must say we admire Ney for not handing off his manhood-questioning to a subordinate. That’s dedication to his constituents. More excerpts from his creatively-punctuated and spelled missive, after the jump.

Update: Ney was not drunk. Response from his office, also after the jump.
