CNN's Bruce Morton Urges End of Boycott of French Products: "Drink their Wine, Eat French Fries"

CNN liberal girly-man Bruce Morton just completed a segment on Inside Politics the point of which was to encourage Americans to stop boycotting French products.

His pitch came in the course of a segment demonstrating - through poll results and conciliatory remarks by Condi Rice - that American attitudes toward France are thawing.

He concluded his piece, standing at a bar with many bottles of (presumably French) wine in evidence, by instructing us "so have a glass of French wine, or eat a French fry - they're good!"

Thanks, Brucie, but when it comes to my personal economic foreign policy, I'll take guidance from my own principles, not from over-the-hill liberal hacks like you.

By coincidence, just last night I had dinner with a good old European friend in a fancy restaurant in NYC. When it came to ordering the wine, I made a specific point of mentioning "I'm still boycotting the French."

Someone needs to tell the stoopid mofo that French fries aren't FRENCH! They are a product of our big fat country.

CNN should stop worrying about Americans boycotting French products and start working on getting them to stop boycotting their horrible network.

So am I. To the extent of dropping my subscription to Road & Track when I learned they are owned by a French company. We don't do French any longer.

Wellllll...OK, I'll do my patriotic part by French-kissing the SI swimsuit edition ladies. If it will help foreign relations I'll make the sacrifice.

Since we've got a record trade deficit, it would be unpatriotic to buy French.
