Mathieu Kassovitz, writer/director of La Haine, star of Amelie, and opponent of French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, auditions for the position of My Favourite Person in the World, and does pretty well.

    Hammer, meet the nail's head.

    Sarkozy's comments had no other outcome in mind than his own aggrandisement.

    Rhetoric can be used to achieve great things, winning over hearts and minds at a time of crisis.

    Or alternatively you can use rhetoric to stir up hatred just so you get to sit on top of the woodpile until the bonfire really starts.
