Afternoon giggle: An e-mail from France
A French TV crew is headed to America on an anthropological quest to interview some strange, alien creatures. One of them e-mailed me for advice.
I don’t know why this cracks me up so much, but it does. There’s something Inspector Clouseau-like about it. Had to share:
Hello,
We are a french tv crew, working for France 5 international media (France, Canada, francophone States). We are flying to the States to prepare a report about the Pro Bush Americans. I would like to get your advice about where to go and who could we meet?
Thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Fabrice Hoss
French reporter

Bon voyage!

Hey, let’s talk about the nutcase in foreign languages. Kind of a test your knowledge of the world thing. Que dice watershed? Que otros idiomes sabe habler? Or are you merely monolingual?
You underestimate the stupidity of the French, Lockstein. The person is legit, here’s a “France 5″ page on a documentary she did on the Socialist party in France. (Well, they’re all socialist – but I digress.)
JE VOTE SÉGOLÈNE
jsr, ¡el armario de agua habla al liberal, socialista! ¡la única lengua verdadera para la era de obama… me da su dinero!
Oh, that is hilarious.
Speaking of the fwench…welcome to Bush’s world, President Sarkozy.
Man up.
Oh my, I’m laughing so hard now—-watersHed found Pamela Gellar’s site because he was looking up ‘atlas shrugs’; ever since FilmLadd told him something about ‘when atlas shrugs…’
hahahahahaaa!

Another one I read once:
After the Revolution, the British were asked why they wore those bright red uniforms, which stood out against the landscape. They replied that it was because blood would not show, and thus, would not demoralize other troops.
Now we know why French soldiers wear brown pants.
SNORT.
You need to go to Hollywood and look up Alec Baldwin, Madonna or Cindy Meehan. They should set you straight on Pro Bush supporters after they beat you to a pulp.

My favorite Inspector Clouseau scene:

He’s busy. I gave him a homework assignment on the Vote Twice thread.
Insisting he justify his position with facts has totally traumatized him.
Drainage basin.
Another name for a watershed.
The “special one” for “The One”.
I have seen some idiot trolls during my surfing time but the constant drip drip drip of this drip is particularly annoying due to the utter lack of cohesiveness to it’s arguments.
Like Barack Obama it hides its own racist views behind it accusing finger.
Feeding it makes it more crazed and moronic with its insults and put-downs.
No doubt it lives alone with no friends and expects to be taken care of by someone else.
Both Michelle Malkin And Pamela Geller have more brain cells in one of their nail clippings than this creature seems to possess.
The idea of going to their sites and acting like your opinion will change their fans minds is really insane!
When a drainage hole hiccups it emits a foul smell due to all the toxins it has accumulated.
Getting advise from a sewer is likely to have one holding their nose.
jsr, they only speak one language, Gimmie! water closet, oh water closet, come out & play… we won’t hurt you.
Off topic, but here’s another giggle, culled from a Drudge link. Good for the guy for punking this Obamabrat! -
Boy shocked after man powers up campaign sign
Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance camera.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday.
The boy’s father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak’s door. Soon an Orange County sheriff’s deputy also showed up at the Turschak’s home.
Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs.
Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn’t plan to file charges.
SWEET!
good thing he didn’t pee on it…
Hmmmmm… Shall I tell him where to go?????????
purplepeep–that was the link I tried to attach a while ago, but it didn’t work. Did you ever see the video?
One of my few pet internet peeves, Red. “Loose” for “lose”. See it all the time but it still makes me wince even though I ain’t no sp/typo/grammar-cop.

Awwww crap I have some fava beans… and a fine chianti.
purplepeep, hey! New York peoples Educational System… gimmie a break.
Dear “purplepeep”,
Maybe it’s my age. I don’t think I “underestimate” anyone’s stupidity (like capital/capitalism, it’s NOT a “zero sum” issue…sigh!), I just try to
1) give ‘em the benefit of the doubt…which often enough leads to
2) giving them enough rope to hang themselves.
Easier that way.
heh.
brooklyn red,
Need any onions?
Check out this article in Gateway Pundit.
Those “reasonable Democrats” out there. It would appear The One is going to purge you from the Democratic Party.
Want to see why Obama never discusses bipartisanship? Here it is.
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/10/at-daily-kos-hate-website-obama-wrote.html
lord knows, I got’s onions!
but perhaps a baguette?
Why not? Live it up.
Remember the words of Albert Einstein, “The difference between intelligence and stupidity is that there are limits to intelligence.”
OK, as long as you don’t use “definately” for “definitely”!
I think it’s more an internet phenom, esp. when it comes to homonyms (e.g. your, you’re). People seem to tend to pick it up from one another on a subconscious level.
I’m not real big about such things. I think the guy who came up with this site might need to find something a bit more important to get worked up about:
D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y
Or it could be mine, Lockstein. Or both of ours added together, lol.
Personally, I hate ‘I could care less’ for the (correct) ‘I couldn’t care less.’
But, I know, ya’ll could care less.

So pre Obama… now repeat after me, whaaatever!
You too can be saved.
Yeah, that’s another one, WT. But my rule of thumb is if I understand what the person means, it’s not a big deal. I can work my way through
Egyptian hieroglyphs, so I don’t get flustered too easily. And “Y’all-speak” works for me, y’all!
Red was having some fun poking at a troll en français, that’s why it popped into mind here.
Hmm…. where to find Pro-bush “Americans”……
Hmmm…. Where ever the strongest smelling glue is being sold, go find the inbreds sniffing it – those are Pro-Bush “Americans”.

I’m with ya on this one, but ya’ know, here we’ve got the end of the world fixin’ to happen and y’all are gonna quibble about gramma!
Gosh darn it, fellas (and gals), all y’all have me laughing so hard that now I’m coughing (is there a doctor in the house?)
Is not that an oxymoron?
Rather than quibble ’bout gramma an granpa, I’d fued over Ma and Pa Kettle, Stranger. Ceptin’ that would be “raaaaa-cist”, what with the hue of kettles, y’know.
you conservative folks on this site, putting up with waterdrop, ilove(hate)thiscountry, lgm(lost and gone mad), sausage(speaks for it’s self), and the rest of the left wing wacko commenters on here is just a sample what we will have to endure the next 4 yrs if Odummy wins next tues….the unFairness Doctrine at work.
I gots me one o’ them ole kettles. Gramma used to make lye soap in it – looks like they coulda used some of it here.
*Must stop channeling Daisy Mae….
What we all have to remember is that the Euorpeans only know what they see on TV. If you watch CNN international (the only real American news show on TV in Europe), all Americans are Liberal Democrats and the Republicans only win when those 6 or 7 right wing Neo Nazis somehow subvert the Constitution. Of course, if you listen to Democrats, they say the same sort of thing.. Hmmmmmm, wonder why??
I have the (mis)forturne to live in Europe. I have for the last four years. What I can tell you is that Europeans generally know the US via television (they honestly think that the US is like what they see on the A-team and Dukes of Hazzard – both currently running on TV here). So, when CNN tells them that the US doesn’t like President Bush (BBC only started calling him “President” instead of “Mr.” in the last 12 months by the way), they tend to believe it.
Living here reminds me of what true freedom is. Freedom is the ability to see past the biased press’ BS without interference from the government. My fellow Americans should understand that Sarkozy is ridiculed here because he believes in a free market, non-socialist system. The planks in his platform were doing away with the socialism that has restrained France from living up to it’s potential (those same constraints that the Demo-socialists wish to place on Americans). Sarkozy is one of America’s few friends in this very, very socialist continent.
Yes, France is a horribly communist country who’s leaders have turned it against it’s only true friend (the USA) over the last 50 years. However, with Sarkozy’s election, all of the ultra left liberals (and ultra left over here means that Marx would think they were left of even his position) have acted just like the press in the USA. They act like some magic force came out of the sky and elected this person contrary to the will of the majority of people. However, the majority of the populace elected Sarkozy because of his conservative platform. Just like another Conservative leader I could name..
BTW.. It is a historical fact that the greatest French Naval victory, if one considers number of shots fired, number of ships lost, number of lives lost, and amount of effort used, is the sinking of the GreenPeace vessel Rainbow Warrior. Vive La France!!
Tell them you can’t help them with Bush supporters, but you know where you can find a whole bunch of Thomas Jefferson people.
conservative in europe… deployed?
or.

Thanks for sharing those insights conservative in europe.
A number of my business acquaintances are Europeans, and we have had some very interesting conversations about what America it means to be an American.
For one thing, some of them don’t understand the concept of regularly attending a church, but not being a member, because where they live a baby automatically becomes a member of the state church – even if they never attend.
Any wonder that Muslims especially don’t grasp the difference between real Christians and Americans in general, because (unlike the left) Muslims see America as a Christian country – and they view most European countries the same way (amazing, isn’t it?). They really don’t get that being a Christian is a choice, not something you’re born into.
We’re not worried. conservatives are the ones with the guns.
Oops – failure to edit; that should have been what it means to be an American.
Remind them of de Toqueville’s observations that Americans know all men have feet of clay and so have regular elections–we do not elect a Sun King, we elect a man who will do the least damage.
Bush. Now McCain.
Agreed and it’s a good thing…just bought myself new 2nd amendment rights…called a scatter gun to some..should scatter numb nuts.
I’m sure these French reporters will be steered toward some trailer-park in Arkansas or Oklahoma and interview the first person they see drinking a beer or working on his satellite dish. Sure signs of a Pro-Bush supporter.
Extra points if they own a Basset Hound or have a car up on blocks in the front yard.
Has anyone noticed, when the trolls go home it’s just like when your kids go to to bed. It takes awhile for the ringing in your ‘ ears to disappear, but then there’s
PEACE
Obama was member of The New Party?
Send them to Chicago and give them Ayers and Wright’s adresses. That should prove to be a great time on film.
I can’t believe that Huf Post write stabbed her girlfriend 200 times with a screw driver. WTF? I don’t even think Norman Bates would go that far.

I don’t mean to highjack the thread but that’s screwed.
Michelle, you really need to adjust your spam blocker.
Its not like France is a real country. Give them a break. The Cheese eating surrender monkeys don’t have that much going for them.
France sucks.
I never really understood why Republicans hate the French so much. I reckon it’s something to do with jealousy? The US has no real high culture it can call it’s own, whereas in France, high culture is everywhere and has been for some time. Do I sense some cultural envy on behalf of bitter Republicans (what other kind of Republican is there?).
I liked a couple of comments from the great Lewis Grizzard after France refused overfly clearance for our planes on the way to bomb Libya:
“If it wasn’t for us the French would be speaking German and eating sauerkraut.”
“Once you’ve seen the Eiffel Tower and been insulted by the head waiter at a fancy restaurant, you’ve done France.”
They smell and are rude. If there were no French people in France, it would be a nice place to visit.
Well of course they’re coming here to meet Pro-Bush Americans, They already have a country full of liberal socialists.
Why did the French give up easily when the Nazis invaded?
The French actually had a bigger army, better tanks, and airplanes that equaled the Germans. What they didn’t have was a combined arms tactical doctrine within their armed forces that could combat blitzkrieg.
The Germans used combined arms tactical doctrine to chew the French up one piece at a time.
The French also depended on the Maginot Line to deter the Germans from attacking and it worked. The Germans avoided it like a traffic jam and drove right around it.
May-June 1940 in a nutshell.
Why did the French give up its Jewish citizens even easier?
I forgot – the British didn’t help that much either. Again – no combined arms tactical doctrine.
The U.S. Army took the German idea, improved it, and used it against them.
Maybe Americans hate France because of Vichy France during the war.
re: #139
So, first I’m a racist then a redneck. Now I can add glue-sniffing imbred. Cool!
They’re snobs who look down their noses and think they’re better than everyone else. Just like liberals.
Cultural envy of FRANCE? if your idea of culture is race riots all summer long, old people dying of cold in the winter and heat stroke in the summer, and 25% unemployment then you can’t pay me enough to be envious of that.
I’ve been to France, they’re stagnated in the 1930′s and your so called High Culture is just nostalgia. They think that high art is building a pointy green house in front of the Louvre. Even their cuisine is stagnated. Outstanding as it is, they’re terrified of stepping into the 20th century, let alone the 21st. French trained chefs only blossom when they come here to the land of the free and open some of the finest restaurants on earth.
Tell you what Omu, you just continue to worship a society in decline and be sure to wear Kevlar while you’re there, just in case their forwardthinking high culture islamofacists mistakes you for a Jew. I’ll stay there in backwards ass America and continue to save the world from itself, one idiot totalitarian regime at a time.
Plus the French started the Vietnam War.
Don’t believe a word the Fwench Pwess’s reason for coming. They just want to DEFECT!
I see Umo or Omu, whatever,swooped in with a bomb.Pretty weak and 8th grade level.
Hey Darlin’ send old Frenchy and Friends down here. I’ll put on my cowboy boots and hat, strap on some Irons, call my wife Sis and show Frenchy and Friends an eyeful. I’ll run down to Wal-Mart and get some “Pretty Good Cheap Red Whine (yes, Whine)” cook up some dogs and fries and throw them a banquet.
Big banner over the driveway:
“Lafayette, we are here” Ne restez pas longtemps.
Damn, but I am feeling so Continental I think I spell it Colour again.

Maybe we can get them to take the Code Pink Panthers with them when they leave.
Pick me up at 8 PM. (MST). We’ll stop at the bank and get some singles.
What a nerd, we have plenty.
The US has no real high culture it can call it’s own, whereas in France, high culture is everywhere and has been for some time
A good buddy of mine when I was on active duty was first generation American. His parents emmigrated from West Germany in the 1960s. He grew up out in Nevada and one time we were talking about high school activities.
He said he joined the German club in high school and the first week of every year they invaded and took over the French club.
It might have been a joke at the time, but I laughed till I cried.
Au contraire! High culture in France is tucked away in their many wonderful museums; popular culture is based on American culture. I was just in Paris, and I know. They love Americans and our music, clothes, and attitude.
Here in America we call it “a week without showering”. I like France, but I have no idea what you are talking about with “high culture”. Good food – the less expensive the better.
Oh, and I forgot, they elected a conservative…
Ah right, Sarkozy called Obama immature and I don’t think he’s lying.
What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands in the air?………
THE FRENCH ARMY!!
ALL YOUR Pro Bush Americans ARE BELONG TO US!
Good luck finding any monolithic “Pro-Bush” individuals. Bush has good moments, and bad.
It’s hard to imagine someone who thinks GW Bush is ALL good. Even harder to imagine someone who thinks BJ Clinton is ALL good. But it’s EASY to imaging someone who thinks BH Obama is ALL bad.
You know, thinking a little more about it, I’m not sure what the scandal is supposed to be here. I mean, Malcolm X was an American citizen, yes? So that would remove any doubt about Obama’s citizenship, which the wingnuts continue to insist is problematic. After all, you can’t have two US citizens for parents and not be an American citizen, no matter where you’re born.
And if Obama’s father was Malcolm? Wow. From orphaned child of a murder victim to mainstream politician and Presidential nominee in four decades? Awesome. Very, um, Atlas Shrugged of him, no?
But let’s face it, this lady trying to conflate her arguments to appeal to an audience comprised of both the Jewish Defense League and the Ku Klux Klan.
Sit Omu, Sit: Another liberal f-tard who doesn’t know the difference between hate and ridicule.

Did this little Massengale ever apologize for calling posters on this site racists? Just askin’.
Waterhead is a Massachusetts congressman?
Anyone else catch the video of waterhead trying to steal a McCain campaign sign?
It’s shocking!
