The Darndest Things...

Apparently good ol' Jacques Chirac is hoping that if the French people are too busy shoving their collective foot in his mouth they won't be able to use it to strike his behind. Just over a week since London is bombed and Chirac is out talking about how much better the French are than the British and telling his people, "You're so lucky you're not British." I guess thats stereotypical French arrogance. He couldn't hold his tongue at a time of tragedy, and instead used the opportunity for personal gain rather than respect. Way to promote European solidarity, Mr. The-EU-is-worth-more-to-me-than-air. It doesn't seem like anyone is really taking this guy seriously anymore. I say lets hurry on to 2007 and get someone rational in there.

What an idiot. I guess we just can't understand what it's like to have a 2000 year old rivalry. But it seems like Britain's gotten past it, and doesn't need to assert itself by thumbing it's nose to the rest of the world whenever the opportunity presents itself. The French should stop bitching and start a revolution; right?

oh, and that first sentence is an amazing display of wit and brilliance.
