my friend arthur, the cutting-edge French theatre director that helmed the productions of Abigail's Party and Julius Caesar that I was in, emailed a group of us today with his across-the-pond thoughts on our election tonight. i think it's fun:
hi friends of america !!!
you know that in France we are used to see things from our point of view, or that we take our desires for reality. 8 years ago, we went to bed happy to know that Al Gore was elected. The next morning, surprise, it was Bush. 4 years ago, we slept relieved that Kerry was your new president. Too bad. F... jetlag. Tonight, i'll go to bed dreaming of Mc cain and Palin, to avoid another hangover tomorrow! I 'm sure that you must experience right now an incredible moment, and if i could, i would take a plane tonight to share the crazy night and the crazy days that will (let's hope) follow. Instants of grace. I'm envious :-)
My bet is also that Carla Bruni will probably dump soon Sarkosy and chase Obama. Antoher good news.
I think of you, share your excitment and hopes, and send you all my love,
arthur
