Lightweight in hoop earrings to head IMF!

Following the demise of French heavyweight Dominique Strauss-Kahn it now appears another French citizen, albeit this time a woman and obvious lightweight, will take his place as head of the IMF. This comes as the USA endorses the candidature of French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde.


The old saying about hooped earrings, should perhaps have been taken into account by the world's leaders, with responsibity for the economic cure sickness of the West's economies, the mind boggles at what the UK's 4% responsibility for IMF contributions will now become in printed pounds sterling!
