PARDON MY FREEDOM
The New York Times reports, "with frustration rising in the Capitol over French opposition to President Bush's policy on Iraq, Representative Bob Ney, the Ohio Republican who is chairman of the House Administration Committee, which is responsible for House operations, ordered the word "French" stricken from all House menus. The action was unilateral. No vote was required." French fries will be called, "freedom fries," and French toast will be called "freedom toast." What do you think?
"I think it was wrong of Mr. Ney to make such a decision without consulting both houses of Congress. Since our elected representatives gave President Bush full power to make war months and months ago, they feel left out of the war effort. Now this. "Clark Berryman, Finance Officer
"Does that mean we have to give back the Statue of Liberty?"Carolee Munster, Music Teacher
"Screw that, I refuse to give up jamming my massive tongue down my girl's throat."Robert Donaldson, Waiter
"That French cheese really stinks! I'm a Velveeta man, myself."Jerry Tardyman, Pharmacist
"We could call French dressing "un-dressing." Get it?"Davis Franklin, Student
"Can I call Representative Bob Ney an asshole?"Joan Okerfeller, Reporter
