| Senior Member   |  The governor of Colorado is catching hell from French diplomats The governor of Colorado is catching hell from French diplomats for what they call "unfortunate and ill-informed" jokes about the French at a Republican Party convention, reports the Denver Post. In a keynote speech, Gov. Bill Owens cracked a few jokes that didn’t sit well with the frogs. "You know why they planted those big trees along the boulevard in Paris?” he asked. “So the invading armies could march in the shade." And, he continued, "You know why the new French navy has glass-bottom boats? So it can see the old French navy." Nathalie Loiseau of the French Embassy in Washington criticized Owens for what she said was "uselessly practicing French bashing for the purpose of playing politics." |

| Moderator   |  Well, they saved our collective kiesters back during the Revolutionary War. Then we pulled their cojones out of the fire twice - in WWI and WWII. And we took over from them in that bit of unpleasantness in Indochina.  I'd say they owe us, big time. They better change their tune before the next European War. We might let the Germans have them next time. I pity the Germans . . .

Trader Rating: (0) | I fail to understand why anyone would care what France thinks about anything. Since they chose to snub us when we asked them to help, screw them now! They are like all the rest of the ungrateful world, all they want is our money. But, I have seen a few tasty french 'hoes! Heee, heeee!

| Moderator | France is that silly little poodledog that tags along with the big dogs, trying to keep her ideals of past glory and barking up a storm. Eventually, the other dogs will have had enough of that infernal yapping. Bad dog!
