FIVE JOKES

November 13, 2005

We turn to France, whose decision to stay out of the Iraq war is starting to make more sense. After all, why go all the way to the Mideast when you can fight Muslims in your very own suburbs?

— JON STEWART

The streets of the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois have been filled with angry, mostly unemployed Arab and African immigrants setting fire to hundreds of cars. Their message: We're mad as hell, and we're not going to let you park here anymore.

— STEWART

Night after night of rioting and looting and burning cars, but don't worry because the French government is working around the clock to figure out a way to blame it on us.

— DAVID LETTERMAN

The riots in France have been through their second week. No signs of slowing. Now first of all, let me congratulate the French on whatever sporting event they apparently won.

— STEPHEN COLBERT

The situation is really bad — today Chirac announced that the French are pulling out of France.

— JAY LENO

[TEXOKIE]

ROFL!!

[frankiep]

"Paristine"

Isn't that how a Chinese guy would pronounce "Palistine"?

[Rebelbase]

[Borax Queen]

That's the one I liked too!

[investigateworld]

My last trip to Paris, as the day awoke, I noticed hundreds of men with old fashioned brooms sweeping the streets. They appeared to be black, slender, chiseled features vs. cherubic.
Are these the Beuers?

(great pub crawl btw)

[mewzilla]

Hee hee. That's a good one.

[nicmarlo]

but, of course!!! : )

[Borax Queen]

mais, oui! le bon minds...

[Non-Sequitur]

Do you read the entire thread or just respond to post out of context?

Not much to respond to. Just some guy who got his shorts in a wad over Jon Stewart and the Daily Show. Must not have ever seen the show, otherwise he would have known that it was comedy. Although one would think that the fact that it is shown on a network called "Comedy Central" would be a giveaway.

[Non-Sequitur]

It seems pretty political to me.

So are Leno and Letterman, I guess. They take shots at Bush all the time.

[Non-Sequitur]

That's what he always does.

I must have said something you disagreed with some time, and this is the best response you can muster.

[Brilliant]

They also take shots at the Dems, though.

[dfwgator]

How much it must suck to be the French when even the liberals make fun of you.

[AmishDude]

That's what he always does.

I must have said something you disagreed with some time, and this is the best response you can muster.

Thank you for proving me correct.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

If the French could only learn to respect the rights of Paristinians...

[Mr. C]

Actually, The only thing that I find funny about the French is Inspector Clouseau ... He is a perfect caricature of a notibly imperfect nation.

[TASMANIANRED]

Only if you take off 6 weeks in the summer.

[TASMANIANRED]

They have been arresting french police for unnecessary roughness.

[TASMANIANRED]

Reminds me of "I'm so ronery"

[TASMANIANRED]

Yours is the line of the day.
