According to Le Parisien daily, Scheib was approached by a woman pretending to be French President Jacques Chirac's wife Bernadette with a request: Would he consider switching presidential pads to make hamburgers and pizzas for Jacques?

But when he found out it was all a set-up for a popular Candid Camera-style programme called "On a Tout Essaye" (We've Tried Everything), Scheib grew furious.

He reportedly contacted the White House, which in turn called Chirac's office to demand that the embarrassing scene be cut from the TV show.

3. like bush says, there ought to be limits to freedom......

"The newspaper said it appeared that the public network France 2 decided to bow to the request and avoid a diplomatic incident, but that the US administration had such a sour taste in its mouth it was asking for a formal apology from French officials. "

5. What nerve!!

"the US administration had such a sour taste in its mouth it was asking for a formal apology from French officials. "


After all the freedom fry bullshit that the freepers on the street and in congress pulled, not to mention the crap that the Admin pulled to go into Iraq. And now they want an apology from France? Yeah, maybe you should of thought about it before you burned all of the damn bridges.

Fucking morons.

6. Hahahahaha, he said YES!

"The answer, despite the brouhaha over "Freedom Fries", French wine boycotts and the small issue of working for a man Scheib's current boss has little time for, was "yes", the newspaper said."

And look at his pout, poor widdle baby. WAaaaaaaaa!
