Moron questions infuriate ChiracBy BILL RODGERS, OTTAWA BUREAU CHIEF

OTTAWA -- A furious French President Jacques Chirac shielded Prime Minister Jean Chretien from questions about a "moron" scandal surrounding his communications director yesterday, saying the subject had no place at a meeting on aid to Lebanon.

"We are not here to discuss Canadian domestic issues," Chirac said sharply to a reporter during a news conference. Chirac glared at the Canadian reporter, covered Chretien's microphone with his hand and moved to another question.

The scandal inflamed passions in the U.S., with conservative pundits fuming after Chretien said he wouldn't fire aide Francoise Ducros for calling U.S. President George W. Bush "a moron."

Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan called Canadians "spoiled brats of the new world order."
