Le French Foreign Minister Is, How You Say, Un Retard

Just read it.

Oh dear me, I just can't wait some arrogant French asswipe starts in on the whole "you stupid Americans" thing again.

Please. Please please please. Please let me get linked by some French blog and get infested with les trolles françaises.

Thanks to Andrea for the French tips, although I really just prefer butchering their crappy little lingue du surrendere.

Maybe He Was Right: Although I think he's still just an idiot.

Check the comments. The British Channel Islands were occupied by the Nazis and Jews were forced to register as such. Twelve Jews were deported from the islands, with the cooperation of the (presumably Vichy-fied) British government, and yes, some of those deportees wound up in concentration camps.

How SeanM knew that, or even thought to google that, is beyond me.

Again, I don't know if this rescues Frenchy McDroolcup, because he seemed to be talking about England proper. Plus, the report said his remarks caused "embarassment," which they wouldn't have done had he known what he was talking about and simply said, "You are perhaps forgetting de occupied Channel Islands, yes-yes?"

I think this is just an idiot stumbling over his ignorance and falling into wisdom.

Kind of like Being There, only with more chain-smoking and body-odor.
