Because he hates Americans, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." - Conan O'Brien "I don't know why people are surprised the French don't want to help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France." - Jay Leno What did the mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered the city in WWII?
