#4 Love it, Raj...too true.
I think the WashUpPost is being generous saying that "35% of Americans" still trust the Frogs.
Hatred of the French is the most universal sentiment I've found in the 2+ years since they put that fine Sabatier cutlery in our posterior.
Let's face it, the French weren't that popular here before they betrayed us...

#5 I trust the French - to screw us over every chance they get.

#6 "slump in trust"

Yeah: to -374, I think.

Well below zero, in any case.

#7 "Only 35 percent of Americans like the French, ..."

Wasn't there a poll recently in EUrope that showed even less than that level of love for the French by other EUniks?

#8 The lack of trust coefficient between the US and the French has fallen so low that it can only be expressed as a negative number times the square root of negative 1.

#11 never fear! The arrogance of De Villepin is here to guide you primitive Americans to a more Gallic-central world!

Pfeh!
