that in 2002 I was not paying much attention to politics even in the US, let alone around the world, so I never heard of M. Jospin. But I have just looked him up in Google Images after reading your story, above, and I feel, looking at a page of photos of him that I instinctively feel he is the same kind of person that JK is -- he looks honest, direct and principled to me, just looking at his eyes. Now I know that is not exactly the most reliable method of assessing a complete stranger, but I bet I'm right!
Also, I even found a photo where he is in a posture that reminds me of one of JK's familiar attitudes!
Anyway, I like his face, this M. Jospin, and I'm sorry he was treated in France the way JK was here and that France had to suffer so much because they didn't understand what they were losing by rejecting him. I just had a funny thought -- just as JK was accused here of "looking French", did anyone there accuse Jospin of looking American?
