Sarkozy Walks Out on 60 Minutes Interview

capt.3d3a7f1d5b574079bb9394bfaf09bf7a.france_environment_xfm116.jpg France's president abruptly ended a "60 Minutes" interview aimed at introducing him to U.S. audiences, dubbing it "stupid" and a "big mistake" and refusing to answer questions about his wife. The Associated Press/Variety reports.

"Before the CBS news show interview in Paris even began, Sarkozy called his press secretary "an imbecile" for arranging the session on a busy day.

"I don't have the time. I have a big job to do, I have a schedule," Sarkozy said through a translator before the interview began. In English, he added: "Very busy. Very busy."
