Arnold
for Moscow mayor? … It's fun to ponder the possibilities.
Le Monde, France
Why Not Globalize Trade in World Leaders?
"Imagine,
for example, Nicolas Sarkozy at the White House, master of the world. We would
very much like to see Queen Elizabeth as Mayor of Montfermeil or Bobigny. And
who would deny Pope Benedict XVI from being president of the Cannes Film
Festival or the Paris Saint-Germain football club?"
The president of Russia,
Dmitry Medvedev, has just received a very amicable governor of California,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, at his residence in Gorki, near Moscow. "I know
you'll soon be leaving your post," Medvedev told the former actor.
"If you had Russian citizenship, you might have a job here. Right now,
Moscow lacks a mayor ..." Indeed, Yuri
Luzhkov has been dismissed by the Kremlin.

It was perhaps a joke, but Mr.
Medvedev has opened up a previously closed horizon. By ignoring borders, we
could make some grand exchanges. Imagine, for example, Nicolas Sarkozy at the
White House, master of the world. We would very much like to see Queen
Elizabeth as Mayor of Montfermeil
or Bobigny. And who would
deny Pope Benedict XVI from being president of the Cannes Film Festival or the Paris
Saint-Germain football club? [Italy Prime Minister] Silvio Berlusconi
himself would just need to cross the Place Saint-Pierre to head the Congregation
for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. As for Colonel Gaddafi, if he
would pitch his tent under the Dome, he would make a wonderful permanent
secretary of the French
Academy.
