Hoax cooked up by French leaves Bush's chef with egg on his face

The Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 08/29/03 | Philip Delves Broughton

I thought Hillary fired all the French chefs at the White House. I guess Bush got some new ones.

[Fledermaus]

Uh, most of those people got paid becuase they were on TEMP jobs. Funt would just go to a TEMP agency and set up an office for the gag. He paid for their time.

[Honcho]

Since when did it become funny to publicly make a person lose their job?

We have a class act for a President. Something tells me his job is safe.

I don't know where you can get a real one but feel free to borrow my cyber one ...... :-)

offer them false investments in snail and frog farms!

[Revelation 911]

Im not buying it... The chef really thought Chirac wants hamburgers? dont think so

agreed - at the risk of perpetuating the food snobs - a real (CIA) chef would be insulted

BBQ maybe - but thats best left to professionals, not a kitchen chef

[BlessedBeGod]

But it's the Telegraph. Not buyin' it.

Why aren't you buying it? The Telegraph is the best conservative paper in Britain.

What's wrong with the Telegraph. Great paper.

[Molly Pitcher]

Infuriating and disgusting!

"Los franceses comen toda clase de porqueria."

Most pigs that I have been around are smart. Most French I have been around are not.

[lawgirl]

Je déteste les Français.

[CharacterCounts]

Pigs are smarter than frogs.

Now let's brainstorm as to what we can do in return to the French.

I really don't think there is anything you could do to the French to make them look more absurd and idiotic than they already do.

[Rebelbase]

"We have a class act for a President. Something tells me his job is safe."

I agree. Allowing the Chef to remain is a class act. Everyone has a right to consider taking a better paying job if one is offered.

President has a great sense of humor. I wouldn't be suprised if he requests the chef to prepare hamburgers and barbeque very soon.

[TheGrimReaper]

The only spokesperson the French could find in the U.S. is Woody Allen.
Too pathetic for words.

[Redleg Duke]

The French are in a death spiral to irrelevancy.

[JeepInMazar]

Here is our list so far (all of these are from others on this thread:

I have a feeling there might be a spate of crank calls to the land of the intercontinentals come morning drive time.

That's easy -- send Chirac a C-130 loaded with calves' heads, with a note attached saying we heard from his fellow countrymen how much he likes them.

Some shock jocks ALREADY got Chirac himself. They conviced him that he got a phone call from Jerry Lewis. Jerry was not amused.

Any more?

[7thson]

I recommend what Col. Hunt said one night during the start of the Iraq campaign. Drop an "oops" bomb on them!

[mtbopfuyn]

Or bull balls.

That dish is fried and named Mountain Oysters.
