Obviously drunk. This video was recorded
during a press conference held by recently
elected french president Nicolas Sarkozy
during the G8 summit on june 2007. This is
the translation of the video from the french:
reporter: I would like to show you the
beginning of the press conference held by
french president Nicolas Sarkozy at the end
of the summit. He just had lunch with the
russian president Vladimir Putin and it seems
that he had more to drink than water.
Sarkozy: Ladies ad Gentlemen, I apologize for
my lateness, dued to the length (smiles) of
the dialogue I just had with Mr Putin (smiles
again)(pause). How do you want to procced, do
I answer your questions? So have you got any
question? (smiles). Go ahead. Yes, yes. Well,
um.
French tv did not release this video (this
recording comes from a Belgian tv show).
Sarkozy said many times during the campaign
drinking goes "against (his) lifestyle" and
that he never drinks alcohol.
The official explanation on Sarkozy's
behaviour is that he was late, had to run to
the conferencea and was then breathless. Some
people think it is a funny explanation since
he is also famous in France for being a good
runner.
Thanks a lot for your hilarious comments.
