[history]
CNN liberal girly-man Bruce Morton just completed a segment on Inside Politics the point of which was to encourage Americans to stop boycotting French products.
His pitch came in the course of a segment demonstrating - through poll results and conciliatory remarks by Condi Rice - that American attitudes toward France are thawing.
He concluded his piece, standing at a bar with many bottles of (presumably French) wine in evidence, by instructing us "so have a glass of French wine, or eat a French fry - they're good!"
Thanks, Brucie, but when it comes to my personal economic foreign policy, I'll take guidance from my own principles, not from over-the-hill liberal hacks like you.

By coincidence, just last night I had dinner with a good old European friend in a fancy restaurant in NYC. When it came to ordering the wine, I made a specific point of mentioning "I'm still boycotting the French."

Someone needs to tell the stoopid mofo that French fries aren't FRENCH! They are a product of our big fat country.

CNN should stop worrying about Americans boycotting French products and start working on getting them to stop boycotting their horrible network.

I could care less what the officials in Washington do about the frogs. I wont buy anything French.
To: Volunteer
So am I. To the extent of dropping my subscription to Road & Track when I learned they are owned by a French company. We don't do French any longer.

Wellllll...OK, I'll do my patriotic part by French-kissing the SI swimsuit edition ladies. If it will help foreign relations I'll make the sacrifice.

To: governsleastgovernsbest
Since we've got a record trade deficit, it would be unpatriotic to buy French.
