Cool. I'll definitely pick it up now. I'd been thinking about Badiou's book on Sarkozy too, actually. Although that has less to do with any interest I have in Badiou than it does a general curious fascination that I have with Sarkozy himself. Have you read Bernard Henri-Levi's 'Left in Dark Times'? That has a really interesting take on Sarkozy while at the same time offering a very good analysis of the decline of the Left that's quite similar at times to the ongoing one offered by Zizek.
