Laughing At France, Again…

Watching 4×100m freestyle relay anchor Jason Lezak come from way behind to beat the trash talking (“The Americans? We’re going to smash them.”), cheese-eating surrender monkey Alain Bernard* and give us the win over the despicable Frogs (and in the process keeping Michael Phelps’ 8 gold medal hopes alive, and taking the world record from the Gauls) is the finest moment in sports that I have witnessed in many years.

*This guy makes other big French hero Gerard Depardieu’s nose  look almost normal. Go eat some snails**, Franco f*ck-faces.***

Bernard simply forgot who he was up against, just as France has forgotten why they’re not speaking German. What does a Frenchman say to a Nazi: “Table for 50,000, monsieur?”

**I actually love escargot; but more than that, I love Alfred Drake’s “Look at that S car go” joke in Trading Places.
