Remember when the French were asses for not joing us in Iraq? Well Iraq did turn out to be a giant boondoggle. Still, apologies from red-faced, American reactionaries have not been forthcoming. Humble pie must be a french dessert.
Last night, Tom Delay held his "I'm an American scumbag who's been forced out of politics" sayonara dinner at a french resturant. The article recalls other examples of Delays French-bating.
I guess he had the freedom fries.

I just won't run with the stereotype. I've been to France and the people I met were completely reasonable, helpful & funny. I think I met two rude people there. Compared with something like 15 rude people in Italy (where I also met cool people).
There is no excusing however that they did invent mime and they do yield their country a bit too easily during wartime.... and they were right that a war in Iraq was a pile of horseshit & lies.

Johnny,
If I have to be nice to the French, it means that I know longer can describe them as "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys"....
I don't think I can give that up!!!!
They also reveree Jerry Lewis. Sure they don't have to watch him on the Jerry Lewis Telethon, so its much easier for them to like Jery Lewis.

Jpeg: Don't worry, the minute you land in Paris, we'll make sure Le Monde gets transcripts of all your posts.

What's up with the Francophilia, John . . . is it a new thing or have you always been a closet fromage-sniffer?
Seriously, if we appologise to France (titter!) then we'd have to do the same for the rest of the planet.
France will always hate us for something . . . they're French!
