'Faint' Sarkozy Hospitalized After Jog

French prez 'felt faint,' undergoing medical tests

Share

(AP) – Nicolas Sarkozy “felt faint” during his usual morning jog today, reports the Guardian, and was admitted to the hospital where he was under observation and undergoing further tests. Elysee Palace declined to comment further, saying it would release further details this afternoon. The energetic French president is known as something of a fitness fanatic.

Bet he doesn't have to wait for his country's socialized (read: obamacare) medicine to help him. He could be dead waiting in line for tests. Oh, wait! He could be too old to even be worth testing! Let's give him and the others too old to save a more useful purpose.l "Soylent Green is people! We've got to stop them somehow!" Reply

The package of legislative reforms you call "Obamacare" isn't close to a socialized plan as in the UK. You are a duplicitous (but much worth in my view, a BORING) troll. If newser ever gets an "ignore" button that automatically deletes certain annoying users from my screen, you'll be the first I put on my list. If verminator shows up again that will be my second pick. Reply

In view of all that's written about Nick's lifestyle, he probably just needs some sleep. Reply
