I've never been much of a Francophile. I don't like French food and the French language is as impenetrable to me as English is to our President. But I love French wine and I love sticking it to all the xenophobic dunces out there in America who don't know the history of their own country, much less the history of France.
Ohhh...I used a big word...I bet that also means I'm one of those uppity intellectuals, too! I'd better register with the Justice Department's "Not Braindead Enough for Our Liking" database.
Those among other reasons are why I'm proud to have French tires on my truck, I'm proud to drink Evian bottled water, eat Dannon yogurt, drink tons of great French wine, and even occasionally smoke Gauloises Blondes.
It will be interesting to see how the White House handles things like NigerGate once Ari is gone. He was so perfectly suited to handle issues like this: When in doubt, just brazenly lie your way out of it. When not in doubt, just up the brazenness and lie anyway.
