    Funny how it's okay to sneer and poke fun of a white stereotype.
    Imagine if Powell were president in this same situation. Would these
    snotty europeans be making aspersions about his "African tribalist
    attitudes" or "spearchucker politics". It is just as offensive and
    demonstrative of the ignorance and the utter moral baselessness of the
    Franco-German position, that they are reduced to name calling. Two can
    play that game, eh Francois? Keep your steenkeeng cheeze!

    Speaking of which, I was thinking that we need a public demonstration
    of our dissatisfaction with France. I propose that the New York Cheese
    Party be staged, a modern rendition of the Boston Tea Party, complete
    with cowboys taking roquefort from the customs houses and chucking it
    at the French Embassy... "You want chemical weapons, Francois? Well
    KEEP your steenkeeng cheese!"
