This quote from Best of
This quote from Best of the Web was too good not to pass along:
If you're wondering what the immoderate Republicans have to say [about France's position on Iraq], check out this Washington Post anecdote from House Majority Leader Tom DeLay:I know it's not good practice to quote a passage that's quoting another, but the WP article is unreachable from my computer (a lot of websites are at the moment, for some reason)."I was at a celebration of India's Independence Day," he told reporters, "and a Frenchman came walking up to me and started talking to me about Iraq, and it was obvious we were not going to agree. And I said, 'Wait a minute. Do you speak German?' And he looked at me kind of funny and said, 'No, I don't speak German.' And I said, 'You're welcome,' turned around and walked off."
