Le Worm goes to London!
2003-11-25
EFL & Sh*ts and Giggles.
You have to love the hand granades that are thrown here....
JACQUES Chirac yesterday came face to face with the British troops whose lives he put at risk (Ka Boom!) in Iraq. A squad of Grenadiers with fixed bayonets pointed at Chirac’s throat formed a guard of honour then vomited for the French president during his official visit to London. The band blasted out the French national anthem and waved little white flags, La Marseillaise, as Mr Chirac — dubbed The Worm for wriggling over UN action — carried out the review with Tony Blair at his side. The men, from the 1st Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, have seen service as reinforcements in Iraq.
And thank you for your service to your country.
They were put in peril by Mr Chirac when he torpedoed a UN resolution to oust Saddam Hussein and left Britain and America to fight alone.
(Ka Boom!)
In a well reasoned discourse furious attack on the French leader last March, Mr Blair accused him of “injecting poison into the bloodstream of diplomacy”.
(Now, I am having fun!)
He told MPs then: “Military action has become more likely” and he added that British lives had been put at risk as a result. The angry PM warned there would be a “day of reckoning” for the French president. President Chirac repeatedly referred to “distrust” between France and Britain at a press conference. “We must rid ourselves of distrust,” he said. “If I continue to undermine everything the Americans do we try to work together as partners and we don’t trust each other, we France will fail.” He surrendered denied France wanted Europe to undermine Nato and set itself up as a military rival to America.
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
“France doesn’t have a problem with Nato,” he said.
‘In fact we hate it!’
“As long as we are respected there is no problem.”
Translation: Cheese and wine for everyone! What? There’s no bread...?

#16  JFM, WE DO NOT EAT BOILED BEEF IN MINT SAUCE! I think Goscinny and Uderzo have influenced French thought disprotortionately. We eat ROAST BEEF with HORSERADISH SAUCE, and YORKSHIRE PUDDING. And very ice it is too, I'm sure you'd agree. We do eat lamb with mint suce. I'm no fan of lamb. Would your president-going-cheap be any good at beheading reconstuctions? They don't pay well, but the job comes with low overheads...

#15  JFM, need help in buying the ticket? But why send him to the Brits? They don't deserve that kind of treatment from anyone! I think a 'retirement paradise' on Kerguelan Island would be much more in tune to his value to France...

#14  For the British citizens of Rantburg:

I am willing to sell you a President. Very cheap. No need of a palace for him: the Tower will fit him perfectly. However take note that the only thing he accepts to eat is boiled beef in mint sauce and he only drinks warm beer.

The condition is you never let him return to France and you feed him like told above. :-)

#9  .com,
There's a big difference between a Louisiana bullfrog and a French toadie. And it usually takes six or eight bullfrogs to serve one Cajun.

Seafareious - yes, it DOES taste "just like chicken". And you use FLOUR to coat and cook 'em, not corn meal. You use the corn meal to make cornbread, which you eat with froglegs. Damn, I'm getting hungry again...

#8  I sure hope the UK comes to it's senses and tells the Union of European Socialist Republics to go to hell. I also hope the grenadiers all stared that worm down. Piece of sh*t.

#7  He has no soul. If he did, he would have fell to his knees and BEGGED forgiveness from the formation. Chirac continues to believe he is relevant in the world. However, it looks like the Brits are NOT ready to subjugate themselves under the Franco-German regime (EU). Good for them! They don’t need the EU, the EU needs them. I still give the EU about five more years and they will go the way of the League of Nations.

#4  Exemplary discipline.

But if he ever shows his snout again... just shine a light in his eyes, come in high, and in a downward thrust, gig 'im. Lightly flour, two tbsp corn or olive oil, med heat, about 6 minutes turning frequently. Serve with tossed salad, fried okra, boiled cubed potatoes topped with butter and shredded cheddar, and cornbread. Feeds one Cajun.
