Maybe He Was Trying to Surrender?

Seems the French President Sarkozy got his french panties in a twist over some photographers taking, well, photos. Charging in to the breach, he "angrily" confronted the wayward photo journalists and dressed them down....in French. Problem is, neither of them speaks French. So the surrender at Lake Winnipesaukee remains somewhat clouded.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, rarely shy in front of cameras, found enough was enough Sunday when chased down by two news photographers while boating in his bathing suit on his American holiday.

Sarkozy angrily confronted two photographers and even jumped aboard their boat when they snapped pictures of him and his family, one of the photographers told AFP.

"Zut alors! French president loses his temper on Lake Winnipesaukee," was the banner headline Monday on the front-page of the local newspaper, the Union Leader. It ran with a photograph of an upset Sarkozy pointing his index finger directly at the photographer.

Nevertheless, I wonder how you say "Lake Winnipesaukee" in French? Hmmmmm?
