” Une demi-heure de collage sonore, une pièce radiophonique en forme «d’audio-bilan» du quinquennat de Sarkozy qui pourrait être le fond sonore de la campagne présidentielle. Un «souvenez-vous» logé entre les oreilles à l’heure de la fin du premier tour. Et si on coupait le son de la télé dimanche soir pour y coller cette bande originale? “
