The French never miss an opportunity to disgrace themselves....
The Americans' relay victory was all the more sweet considering the way France declared itself the favorite prior to the Olympics. The Frenchmen weren't shy about repeating it either. In a news conference prior to the start of the Games, Bernard, who boasts a tattoo of a shark on his abdomen, was asked what he thought about his country's chances against the United States.
"The Americans?" Bernard said. "We will smash them."Several of Bernard's teammates followed his lead, even going to far as to suggest that the Americans were scared of the French.
"This morning, Bob (Bowman) had said the French was saying some stuff, talking a little bit of trash," Phelps said. "It fired me up more than anything else. I told Garret, and he said 'You know what?' We're going to let our swimming do the talking."

Nothing quite a refreshing as seeing the self serving tedios nerotic residents of that pathetic bronze age museum known as France being slapped back into reality. If you don't hate the French, then you need to spend a weekend with some of my French relatives, and that will do it.

Well as a decendant from French immigrants I don't know whether to hate myself or from now on claim the other half of me that is from German immigrants.

Once again, the French give up.

Yeah, but one of the American swimmers has one of those pansy hyphenated names. And he's a MALE (Garret Weber-Gale). What, his parent's couldn't manage to pick one last name between them ... preferably the father's (or does Garrett have two mommies and a sperm bank for a daddy)? Does he comes from a raging liberal feminist family? Sure he swims fast, but that stupid hyphenated last name is shameful.

French WWII Army rifle for sale, never fired, only dropped once.

I'd rather celebrate a great win and a really great display of true American sportsmanship than play silly games over somebody's names. Anyhow, what's with the 'reverse snobbism', you two with those numbers after your nics? Simple names aren't good enough for you?!

Mine is a handle not a last name. Surely you see the difference. And like I said, will his kids have 3-4 last names?

and phuck with their face. HA! HA! HA!

Forget taking the high road: those French arrogant bastards got what they deserved. Even the Europeans hate the French because they are such arrogant snobs. To the French losing team: when was the last time your country won a war? If you gonna talk trash before a contest, at the least win. Here's a lesson from America to France: Ta gueule! (shut the f**k up!)

At least the French aren't stupid like Italian males or pathetic like the Irish in general.
Posted by: Rich | August 11, 2008 at 09:47 PM
The Irish were "pathetic" enough to vote against the Lisbon Treaty.
