So what's so surprising? It sounds just like summer in France to me. Wilted lettuce, rotten tomatoes, John effing french kerry and the guy who wears a corset around his neck like Jaques the Jock. Very strange, the French...and don't they put some kind of nasty sauce on almost everything to cover up the nontaste of their famous quisine?
That's what this whole thing is about. Dumping enough salty sauce on these primaries so you don't notice the non-issues.
And I really, REALLY wonder if that primal scream gave Deano a hernia. Guess his wife gets a few more months of headache time.
