Bon Mot Anyone?

Too Bad to France.

"L'Empire empire" — the Empire worsens — sighed the left-leaning daily Liberation. Courrier International put a Charlie Brown-style fine point on French sentiment with what can very loosely be translated as: "Good grief, four more years!"

Get used to it, Frenchies.

Muwuhahahahahahahaahahahahah!!!!

These people are totally gutless. They surrendered to the Nazis and then helped round up the Jews for deportation. They stab in the back the very people who saved their A$$es against the Nazis. I can't figure these people out. I really tried but it is impossible to understand these vermon.

This leaves Francophiles and Francophobes alike wondering what is to come and what the sentiment is between the two countries right now.

What was the sentiment in the years preceding 1812 ?

[Mr. Mojo]

"This leaves Francophiles and Francophobes alike wondering what is to come"

Philes or phobes? There are more options than liking France and fearing France, incredible as it may seem to many.

Time to post your updated photo of the crying Frenchtoady.

"politicians like Alain Madelin, who is seen as something of a playground bully"

What horsefeathers. He is simply a classical liberal, a believer in free markets. And as such, he recognizes that civilization's interests and America's are one and the same, when it comes to facing Islamic terrorism. There is nothing bullying about him, the charge is absurd. It is a transparent attempt to mislead people into thinking of him and le Pen as somehow equivalent. It is slander. About as believable as calling Steve Forbes just like David Duke.

Too bad they aren't speaking German!

Pray for W and Our Troops

When God created France he thought it was beautiful, perhaps TOO beautiful. To compensate for this he created Frenchmen.

"Everything depends on what Bush does," Rozes said.

That's right, bub. And don't you forget it.

[Republican Wildcat]

This is one of those things that makes me want Jeb Bush to run and win 2008.

Is it any wonder that the French National Symbol is now a Chicken and isn't it appropriate.

It must be Morbus Gallicus, in a late stage.

[Norman Bates]

I thought Le Pen hated America and W...

[Phsstpok]

France has not been significant in world affairs, and certainly not a force for anything but trouble, for nearly 100 years. Except for it's veto in the UN (which we insisted on giving them after World War II) they have no standing in world affairs, other than as the perpetrators of genocide in the third world and the worst example of "western imperialist exploitation" that still stands.

They should lose their Security Council seat and be relegated to what they are, an embarrasment from our collective past with some really nice tourist attractions and some so-so traditions in cooking and wine.

[Dudesdad]

Chicken? I thought it was Worm. Sorry, my bad.

[MisterRepublican]

The French are irrelevant.
