WASHINGTON: France's refusal to back a possible US-led attack of Iraq triggered a verbal food fight on Tuesday in the restaurants of the US House of Representatives as "French fries" and "French toast" were replaced on menus by "Freedom fries" and "Freedom toast."

"This action today is a small, but symbolic effort to show the strong displeasure of many on Capitol Hill with the actions of our so-called ally, France," said House Administration Committee Chairman Bob Ney, an Ohio Republican.

Ney's panel is in charge of the House's administrative needs. He took the action at the suggestion of Rep Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican.

"I am grateful to Mr Ney for standing with me today as we publicly declare our support for our nation's troops and our sincere disappointment in our old friends, the French," Jones said.

LOL!!!

We have to add this to the FR Dictionary!

The french ARE fried if they ever cry like a baby huey for help.

That'll show 'em. What a waste of time.
This is just like when the french voted to change the names of hamburgers to save their culture. If they really wanted to do something, they should have voted to start an embargo of French goods and services.

Never a dearth of nincompoops.

The French will get theirs. For one thing, when Iraq is done (if the UN ever stops their pandering no good crap) our guys will do the job, quite well and when contracting is needed France can go wuusy in their playground and stay home. (In Afghanistan/Pakie/Bora Bora the French made bucks in contracting work after WE did the blood shed)

They will get theirs until then no one french kiss!

The Democrats are fillibustering judicial nominees.

The Republicans are renaming food in the cafeteria.

Cathy, read the article. I am not a mope, but this reminds me of Americans not listening to Beethoven during WW I.
