    Default Sarkozy hides in bar amid protest

    Hundreds of angry protesters have booed French President Nicolas Sarkozy, forcing him to take shelter in a bar as he campaigned in the Basque country ahead of April's presidential election.

    Some in the crowd then threw eggs at the bar guarded by riot police in the south-western town of Bayonne.

    Mr Sarkozy described the protesters - Basque nationalists and supporters of his rival Socialist candidate Francois Hollande - as "hooligans".

    He left the bar after about an hour.

    The Basque region straddles south-western France and northern Spain.

    Come on guys, our little man just needs a drink . Anyway, that does make me worried about the coming French Presidential election; how bad the situation is for Sarkozy?

    Lil' Sarko shouldn't have had any trouble hiding. But really, he seems pretty much done for, according to the polls.

    If you have to hide, a bar isn't a bad place; you have access to drinks, can chat with the regulars, watch TV, and maybe convince someone to go back for a nightcap.
    Eats, shoots, and leaves.

    Nice to see the Basques not taking his .

Their task never has been, and never will be easy, because the two contrary elements, of which our existence and the nature of society is composed, demand the employment of different means. In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.
