Washington, DC - Senator John Kerry, Democrat candidate for President, said yesterday during an address to the American Chamber of Commerce, that if elected he intends to give back the Louisiana Purchase to France.

“America owes everything to France,” said Senator Kerry. “No other country has treated us so poorly over the years. If it weren’t for France, what would self-loathing liberals like myself do?”

Legal experts say that Kerry’s proposal is based on a dubious understanding of the law and could result in years of litigation. The same legal experts say that the years of litigation stand to make legal experts extremely wealthy and so they are in favor of Kerry’s proposal.

By my count, there are 13 states carved out of the LA Purchase, in whole or part.

11 of them voted for GWB rather than Gore. No wonder Kerry wants to give them back!
