#1 appoint Rumsfeld as our ambassador to France

No, Matt, we're not looking to punish Rumsfeld!

#2 Yaz... Reality Land, whereas Chirac lives in the twin states of Delusion and Collusion (separate manor houses, doncha know).

#3 I feel a lot better now - there were various versions floating around (probably from State Dept EuroWeenies) saying Bush called Chiraq. For the life of me I couldn't see how that would be to our benefit. Next time, use caller ID?

#4 Any reason not to appoint Rumsfeld as our ambassador to France? And have him give press conferences every day of the week?

#5 "From the President's point of view, he would call it a business-like conversation."

I like that. Kind of like receiving a call from a telemarketer. "Please send any offers in writing and I'll get back to you if I'm interested."

#7 The Rumsfeld takedown of De villepin could make up a significant portion of that $20 Billion war cost on pay-per-view. I'd pay to see it

#8 Do you suppose that Ambassador Jean-David Levitte's kneepads came in handy when he went "chapeau in hand" to Rove?

#9 I still like the idea from yesterday(?) - can't remember who, oh well.

R. Lee Ermey as Ambassador to France!

"AWRIGHT YOU MAGGOTS! LISSEN UP! WE'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THE PISSING AND WHINING, SO JUST SHUT UP *NOW* BEFORE I DECIDE TO REACH DOWN YOUR THROATS AND PULL YOUR STINKING LUNGS OUT!"

#10 I bet the french press had the other way around. 'Bushed begged for me to call and give him military advice.' Tell them they still are NOT getting any contracts. No, Non, Never!

#11 Reporter: And how do you like France so far, Mssr. Ambassador?

Rummy: I've been here a @#@#@ week and still can't find a decent glass of wine. Any of you guys ever hear of Napa Valley?

(Ermey's great, too, though.)

#12 Ambassador to France? That's easy: Bill Clinton. Slick would have an adoring audience that would never tire of him, along with an unending supply of hookers; stationing him in Paris would keep him out of our hair and out of Dubya's as well; and the French are so clueless and vain they would probably think we were honoring them.

#13 I posted R. Lee Ermey's name here yesterday, but it wasn't my idea. I found across the idea on some blog during the 'quagmire' phase.

#14 I second Billy Boy as ambassador to Paris. Or to the UN. He'd fit right in at either venue.
