'Le Web' is tres useful in French politics
In an effort to eschew a slightly stodgy public persona, Sarkozy's DiscoSarko lets visitors make the Presidential hopeful dance in a number of interesting and goofy ways, to a few choice selections of music. It's well built, totally campy and, absolutely endearing.
