Microphone malfunction: Sarkozy can't stand Netanyahu
French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" in talks with US President Barack Obama, who then complained of having to deal with him daily.

The private conversation, held during the G20 summit in the French city of Cannes last week, was overheard by a number of journalists after it was inadvertently transmitted over a system used for translation, media website Arret sur Images reported.

"I can't stand him anymore, he's a liar," Sarkozy said in French during the talks.

"You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day," Obama replied in comments that were translated into French.

1. It's true. Remember when Newt was in congress and he LOVED Bibi - 'Bibi's Boys' was the nickname
given to all those RW GOPs and Dems who sided with Bibi's constant machinations.
