S&P Downgrades France

[JoltinJoe]

... France goes from "sissies" to "pussies."

... France goes from "sissies" to "pussies."

This brings back memories of;

1). LBJ's response to De Gaulle's order to remove all US military from France - "Does this include the ones in the cemeteries"
and
2). The old classified ad for selling a former French Army rifle "never fired, dropped only once"

So now they are like Iran, and can't use soap or deodorant anymore?

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of the countries

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."

Apparently Mitt speaks French. That Mormon SOB will sell us all off to the Chinese if he's elected. Oh wait, we're already essentially working for them (via our debt-service tax dollars) anyways...

Waiting for Frog-First-Class mainejeff to weigh in.

But did S&P downgrade the wine too?

He is the John Kerry of the Republican Party. Only difference is he didn't serve in Vietnam.
