Sarkozy gets off lightly

During the French election I meant to write something about the way Sarkozy had annoyed French winemakers by revealing he never touched a drop, but I never got round to it.

I guess it was that were responsible for this performance at a news conference during the G8 summit.

No wonder Blair talks about a β€œferal” media: if this had happened to him, it would be the only source of discussion for days. It’s been no big thing, as far as I can see, in the French media.

UPDATE: Thanks for your comments. I have replied to some of them here.

As far as I can see, only followed - but then I am checking online. Reading his words, is this interpretation right?
