Notable Americans on the French

[Saeder]

Notable Americans on the French:

"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." - Mark Twain

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." - General George S. Patton

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." - Norman Schwartzkopf, during Desert Storm

"As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure" - Jacques Chirac, President of France "As far as France is concerned, you're right." - Rush Limbaugh

"The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." - Regis Philbin

"You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who is still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." - John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses, and among his many hats, he wears a beret. He's French!." - Conan O'Brien

"I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" - Jay Leno

"The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." - David Letterman

"No event could be stranger than France, Germany and Russia as peace-rally allies. It reeks of harboring an ulterior motive." - Paul Roget

"We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it." - Marge Simpson

And now, French one-liners...

How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.

Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France.

How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? No one knows, it has never been done.

France - the only country that has a set of surrender documents addressed "To Whom It May Concern"

[I still care]

"What do you expect from a culture and a nation that
exerted more of its national will fighting against
DisneyWorld and Big Macs than the Nazis?"
Dennis Miller

I just heard - probably CNN's Inside Politics - that a number of the Congressional restaurants have changed the name of some of their food as of today. They now have Freedom Fries, Freedom Toast, etc..

France would be such a beautiful country if it were'nt for all the French. I guess that's like saying hell wouldn't be so bad if it were not for the heat.

The Schwartzkopf quote isn't right.

It's by some deputy assistant to the SecDef.

Personally I'm in favor of replacing the "F" word with the term "french". So now you could curse by saying "french you and the horse you rode in on", or "no frenching way", or "french France."

Try it, it's "frenching" fun!
