Wonkette
Last night the McCain folks were handing out press credentials with a ridiculous bereted Frenchman on them, we are not sure why, but that dude looks suspiciously like the mustachioed sophisticate who appeared in our own “The Foreigns” column, which ran back when there was still international news and our columnist was not a Jeopardy! celebrity.
Commenter “Underclassed” asks, “Are the McCain people Josh Fruhlinger fans? Or do they just know how to run a Google Image Search for ‘French Guy?’” The point is, both the McCain campaign and Wonkette find the same random photo of a Frenchman funny, the end. [Photo via Marc Ambinder]
The original text for the poster:
“Bonjorrrrr you Cheeese eat’n Surrrrender Monkeys!”
Clearly the McCain campaign is still bitter about the French inability to repel those nasty Huns. He knows that once he starts lecturing Americans on how you can’t trust those darn French snail-eaters, victory is assured.
Yes. I Googled French Guy, and it was the fourth result. LAZY SLAVES. Now you know why you people are underpaid. Barry’s campaign would probably start with genetic engineering, bring in the world’s best scientists, build a French Guy from scratch and take a picture of said French Guy.
The photo is not complete without stink lines around his arm pits, a white flag in the background and baguette stuffed halfway down his pants. Get the stereotypes right damn it.
McCain’s press passes should be in the shape of an albatross.
EnBuenOra: Clearly the McCain campaign is still bitter about the French inability to repel those nasty Huns.
I think what you meant to say is “Clearly the McCain campaign is totally awsome!
[fixed]
Maybe it’s a subtle message that he *does* read Wonkette and some people will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes *nudge-nudge*.
Why does McCain hate America?
Monsieur Grumpe: I think he’s pointing himself out with your description:

shortsshortsshorts: I Googled “french gay” by mistake and that shit is really disturbing.
But then who isn’t a GIS-capable Josh Fruhlinger fan?
I think it’s obvious that the McCain folks are just big Apartment 3-G and Mary Worth fans.
Also fans of Pluggers.
McCain shouldn’t make fun of the French. They invented the blow job.

Don’t forget Family Circus.
RooseveltFranklin: I’m surprised they didn’t use your search. He may be a maverick, but he’s still a Republican.
WadISay: They’re going to use up the millstone-shaped ones first.
shortsshortsshorts: He’s actually the #1 hit for “french guy beret”, which I’m pretty sure was how I found him in the first place.
weirdiowasculpture: and l’affaire! They made it possible, nay, okay to leave your crippled wife for a younger richer girl!
I just wish you guys would stop using that picture and any other stills from Brent Spiner’s sex video.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: win
can we come up with a godwin’s law for using french as a talking point? Like any argument over forign policy, the odds of a Neocon using the French as a mockable example over time approaches 1?
I mean, seriously, every stinking time. Barack Obama went to Afghanistan! How French of him. It Doesn’t even make sense.
Josh Fruhlinger: As I searched through many of the other results, I can see why that would be number one. The other one’s are a bit lame.
The Frunchman looks just like Robert Newman, doing his Salvador Dali impression.
RooseveltFranklin: O là là!
“les Américains stupides”
Wait, does this mean Senator Walnuts has found “the google?”
I think McCain’s people have given up on actually winning, and they are just playing this out for laughs. Seriously, his people all have permanent short-timer’s syndrome, and they are past the point of giving a shit.
Props for funny, even though it’s sort of too little too late.
This almost makes me want to vote for McCain. Next up–an appeal to working class voters using your ‘dear shit for brains…’ cartoon.
I think that’s a picture of Mitt Romney when he was a missionary in France in the 1960s.
It’s gotta be 4:00 somewhere… I’m having a nice Bordeaux tout de suite!
Finally, it’s Casse-toi pauvre con’s time to shine!
This is the first time I have ever thought of cyberspace as a small world.
Savoir faire… EES EVERYWHERE!
He’s stolen my cheesie!
I don’t…. understand this. Why does McCain need French press credentials anyway? I thought he was on an oil rig in Bobby Jindal’s pants…
