which I personally found extremely irrating given that he was living the high life at our expense - His presidential expenditure blew up by something astronomical.
Given that his predecessor, Miterrand, wasn't one to look at the bill when it came to the glorification of the presidential office, I thought that was pretty fucked up.

Well okay fair enough, but I still think that he got away with it way more than anyone else would have. Look at thi Bettencourt affair - no one would even have noticed something like that in the Chirac day, it would just have been "meh, add it to the pile".

Bof. He managed to dissolve the assembly and hand over 5 years of his presidency to his political opponents. Arguably, not governing got him re-elected but still...

Well no one's perfect. His campaign againt VGE BITD was textbook material.

I guess I am just cynical. Given that most of them are that bad in their real job, I have problems liking their personas. While I do like Clarkson because he is actually good as a TV presenter and un-PC "author".

*shrugs* How would you define "good"?
