[Dan from Michigan]

Get over it.

[Red Badger]

The tongue is sharper than the sword. That's why the french were so offended.......
BTW, French Doors are the least secure doors in the building industry.........

[inflation]

Why in the hell did he say he was sorry? Does ANYONE in the GOP have a backbone??

[Old Sarge]

C'est dommage, responded Nathalie Loiseau of the French Embassy in Washington.

C'est la Guerre, et Fermez la Bouche, replied Old Sarge of the United States Army.

[No Blue States]

"Concerns about Owens' jokes are "kind of bewildering," Duffy added, "because he had a standing ovation in the hall."

I guess only the French were offended.

[CR]

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

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

"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

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." —P.J O'Rourke (1989)

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

"They've taken their own precautions against Al Qaeda. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house." —Argus Hamilton

"The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq." —Dennis Miller

"I would call the French scumbags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum. I say we invade Iraq, then invade Chirac." —Dennis Miller

"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He IS French, people." —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

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

An old saying: Raise your right hand if you like the French.... Raise both hands if you are French.

[Liberatio]

Yeah, but how many of those jokes could be true!

[Sloth]

She admonished Colorado's two-term governor for "uselessly practicing French bashing for the purpose of playing politics."

Why assume it was playing politics? I bash the French for pure enjoyment.

[Izzy Dunne]

The only thing wrong with those jokes is that they're OLD !

[highlander_UW]

"You know why they planted those big trees along the boulevard in Paris? So the invading armies could march in the shade."

A bit harsh, but the Nazis enjoyed the shade. And the Americans who freed France enjoyed that shade as well.

[Tacis]

Geez, I hope the Gov. didn't mention the new French aircraft carrier. They can't get the coal fired engines to work properly.

[TheBigB]

I think this is very definitely worth a RPR ping. P.J. himself called the French a "smallish, monkey-looking bunch." Enjoy!

PING to the newly-created REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE ping list, named after our spiritual founder, P.J. O'Rourke. What is the Republican Party Reptile? It is a creature of the eighties. It’s neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles, the Rehnquist Supreme Court on drugs, a disco Hobbes living without shame or federally mandated safety regulations. The Republican Party Reptile supports a strong defense policy, but sees no reason to conduct it while sober. The RPR believes in minimum government interference in private affairs—unless the government brings over extra girls and some ice. In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out for—the conservative with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of depravity.

[WOSG]

Let them first clean their own house...

and stop the virulently Anti-American attitude of their own media, leaders, etc.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Owens for president !

[Corporate Law]

Lighten up, France.

Bill Owen in 2008.

[BykrBayb]

"As an entrepreneur myself, your governor certainly wouldn't make me want to locate a company in Colorado," said Michael LaVean, a Michigan resident who has lived in France and took offense at Owens' humor.

Looks like it worked! But you know we'll have all those save-the-frog people coming out of the woodwork to keep them here.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

You can't tell the truth without offending someone!

Sensitivity training alert!
Harassment training alert!

[Tamzee]

The French can give Michael Moore an award for the most rabidly poisonous anti-Bush film and absurdly false "documentary"... and yet they get their truffles in a twist because a Republican cracked a joke about their less than stellar battle history.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

LOL!

[BlueNgold]

Hilarious!

Jokes worth remembering!
