Republicans say Dems aren’t Francophile enough to run this country
Thursday, May 7th, 2009Not only is Congress eating French fries but Republicans are now claiming that Democrats aren’t Francophile enough.
On April 25 Senator Alexander gave the Republican Weekly Address in which he explained that Republicans can now applaud “the contrary French” whose president “runs around sounding like a Republican.” He further explained that if Republicans had it their way the U.S. might be eligible to join France in the European Union. And if we were more like France then our energy needs would be easily solved.
Think we’re joking? Take it away, Senator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCew-81O47w.
