There is room to leave your comments.

I first saw it on the French Politics Blog of Art Goldhammer. He is a French professor from Harvard who has an interesting Blog in English. He is heavily slanted to the Left. He doesn’t like Sarko, prefers the pre-Sarko Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys immortalized by Homer Simpson, adores Obama, loves ObamaCare and hates Sarah. He does have an excellent knowledge of French Politics and History, and if you can wade through the slobbering over the looney Left, it is informative. He also loves Sarko gossip, and is intimating that Sarko and Carla are expecting a blessed event, and reports that Carla will be starring in a Woody Allen movie.

Thanks Cincinna. It’s a little known fact that “The Flintstones” were done as a satire of the Kennedy White House.

Okay, I made that up.

For the record: It was Groundskeeper Willie who used the phrase “cheese eating surrender-monkeys” to address the French.

I think having him say it was a good call on the part of the writers. I thought it was MUCH funnier hearing those words spoken with a Scottish brogue than if Homer had said them.
