Fighting a War without the French is like going deer hunting without an accordion.

She's got German features.

Of course. Her grandmêre was a "collaborateuse".

The following is from a column posted earlier in the week:

The French and the Germans have not shown any gratitude for America's part in rebuilding those countries. They have depicted President Bush as a sneering, out-of-control two-gun cowboy.

But they will suffer a penalty. There is already an epidemic of French jokes flooding the Internet.

One of them says we really need the French to show the Iraqi troops how to surrender.

Another asks why are there so many tree-lined streets and leafy lanes in France? The answer: Germans like to march in the shade.

Why don't they have fireworks at Euro Disney? Because every time they shoot them off, the French try to surrender.

Germany said it will not go to war against Iraq, but it will be all right to jackboot into the Czech Republic. (Just kidding.)

In Washington, Teddy Kennedy hiccuped and had no comment, except to say that Saddam Hussein was a great guy.

Well - As long as we are going here - than we might as well take a look at one of the most famous French Women - Bridget Bardot!

Unfortunately, some people age better than others!

Didn't she become a Brit? (They allow her to keep some of her earnings...)

My dad hated 'em in WWII (those of them they could find). One of them shot his best buddy in the knee in Southern France. He's still got the bullet in him at this late date (dad and mom have been trying to persuade him to get a knee replacement, so far to no avail.)

He got mad at Jean Crapaud all over again when De Gaulle banned the export of French wines to the U.S. back in the sixties in some fit of Gallic pique or other.

Dad got hold of a large photo of ol' Charles and had a dart board custom-made. Hung it in the living room and after he and his friends had hoisted a few they would perforate the old guy. They stuck it so full of holes that we eventually had to throw it away, but it sure was fun while it lasted.

First Baghdad, then Paris.
Big Food wants the Truffle Fields siezed by spring. They need cheap truffles as a precursor to perigeaux sauce.

All the French have left to them is the lame attempt to wrap their cowardess and moral depravity in the robe of elitism and "enlightenment". Leave them to their illusions of grandure, they count for less than nothing in the scheme of things.

Oui, l'officier, les réfugiés sont en mon sous-sol, je vous montrera

LMAO

[abishai]

Why were the French women so happy when the Americans and British liberated them in WWII?

Because they finally got to meet REAL MEN who didn't call them "Fraulein".

[MadIvan]

As I posted on another thread:

There once was a man called Chirac
Who stabbed his old friends in the back
He behaved like a jerk
Because the Viagra didn't work
And now all he can please is Iraq.

Oh and a little haiku:

Frogs and Krauts dither
Muslims sneak into Paris
Ciao Eiffel Tower

Spit coffee all over my screen with that one! 8^)

The beaujolais is nice. Other than that I can't think of anything worth invading for.

[ken5050]

Riddle me this.....Saddam, in a desparate attempt to win over American support..declares war on France.....US public opinion is divided on who to root for...

[tgslTakoma]

Thanks for pinging me to this thread; hysterically funny comments and jokes! If the French are still "unmoved" by our mocking and ridicule, we must mock them more and ridicule them harder... and then send copies of this thread to their embassy! I'll be able to hear their whining as I drive past their embassy during my daily commute.

When America is in the hands of our own cheese eating surrender monkey frog girls, the RAT communists, I have disdain at home as well. But, today, the unscrupulous devotees that run the land of froggy frunks have my particularly sharpest disdain - down with the communist pig gerdung and frunky frogs. Traitors and no friends of America - the America that comes running to bail out the losers of the world that were once 'friends' of freedom. Screw the UN, screw the EuroIslamotrash and SCREW THE FROGS and their gerdung compatriots.

Very well stated! Ditto!
