#1 I hate to nit-pick, but the fat bald guy on "The Addams Family" was Uncle Fester. Y'know, as in "festering sore" or somesuch.

#2 Hoisting one up by one's own Petard takes special meaning here.

#3 Lagging behind economically, Romania and Bulgaria were told to wait three more years....
and the French, morally bankrupt were sent to the penalty box for 4 years ...
This is nothing more than a temper tantrum by that corrupt piece of anti-american s$%t

#4 Is this f**khead serious??? I've got news for him, the ordinary people in eastern Europe aren't exactly beating down the door to the EU. In fact, they are fed fairy tales by their governments to get them to vote yes in the upcoming referendums. It's the hope of getting jobs in the west that compels them to join, and thats about the only advantage that allows Chirac to shoot off his mouth like this. F%ck Chirac.

#5 Chirac just must have turned up in his Darth Vader suit for this summit. Wouldn't have worked at all otherwise, would have sounded ridicuous...

#6 Correct Scooter, it is Fester. And Chriac DOES look like he needs a lightbulb stuck in his gob.

#8 And here I thought one of the reasons we're not seeing eye-to-eye is that the euros don't appreciate our tone of voice.

#9 Chirac is basically saying: "Kiss my frog arse or you will never be an associate frog!" Keep talking, Kermit, it ain't hurtin' us!
