Cheese-eating surrender monkeys. I'm going to use this phrase until the French start calling themselves that. This guy can write!
The phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" is not mine. It began in the mouth of Homer Simpson, who used it once. Then Jonah Goldberg picked it up and has used it perhaps two dozen times. It has now passed into the language. So, don't give me credit where credit isn't due. That phrase is so common that it is no longer used with quotation marks. Like, "Let sleeping dogs lie," "It depends on whose ox is gored," and "Stop beating around the bush," which are all from Miguel Cervantes, 350 years ago, but are so common that few people know they are quotes.
