1. When In Doubt...
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.

w/the question if we should make up w/the French.Bush Co won't but we should be crawling on our hands and knees begging for their forgiveness.I feel more in tune w/France thean I ever have in my whole life.I feel more and more ashamed of my leaders than I ever have in my 47 and a half years on this planet.

3. Blame France! Blame Clinton!
Can no fucking Republican take responsibility for anything? What a bunch of weasely creeps.

It's really a trait with most Republicans - which is why I have so few of them for friends, and truly dislike a lot of them. It's part of their partie's allure.

Keerist, take responsibility for once.
