| Apparently only greed runs in the family, not stupidity... unless you fancy going all conspiracy and supposing that Old Bush is prompting New Bush and then buffing his own public image with such "not addressed to his son in person" statements. Gosh, who would fabricate evidence, d'you think? And a nice eloquent statement of resignation over objection to international policy. Freedom Fries. I bet the French are crying about that. Perhaps they'll retaliate by renaming the only thing with "American" in its name from "American-style cheese" to "le fromage répugnant". And that horrible French statue of liberty, eh? Better cover that up with a huge tarpaulin, with the words "Now Your Freedom Is Protected" emblazoned on it, above a big 'your country needs you' picture of Uncle Sam. I wonder if America is waiting for some French diplomat to object to 'freedom fries', so they can yell "the French are against freedom! Those terrorist bastards!" [13:04] |

| I have to say, "le fromage répugnant" provoked a chuckle. |

| The only comment that France has made is along the lines of "French Fries actually originate in Belgium." Sometimes subtely is lost in international relations. |

| I'm waiting for freedom kissing. Suck some face for Uncle Sam. |

| "Now Your Freedom Is Protected"? Does that mean that someone's going to push the Statue of Liberty down the stairs? |

| The subtle implication was deliberate, mm. |

| There's a great comment here citing Ghost Busters II and Mothra, but I can't quite get it right. Involves lots of freedom goo and the destruction of Manhattan. And tarpaulins. |

| Hehehe...speaking of any likeness to Ghost Busters, here is an idea for the french if they want to retaliate: Get the Giant Jet Puff Marshmellow Man to come knock down the statue of liberty just so they can laugh in our faces and say "Hey, we took your freekdom! With a giant marshmallow!" But then again... We would probably just go nuke the Eiffel Tower after that and start WW3 over a few landmarks....I say we do it! |
