So why not string the Brits along a little more? True they got the most humiliating result imaginable in these tough guys saying sorry about everything on al-Jazeera, but they could have got Tony to grovel like Bigley in a couple weeks, for sure.
Can any of you imagine the Brits behaving like that at the Battle of Azincourt? This is the cheese-eating surrender crowd's revenge. What would a catchy replacement for Montezuma be in this context?
I like Armagnac. I'll trade you two VCPs you owe for a bottle of that stuff. Haven't had it since last Fall in Bezerkeley. My landlord--a Frenchie lefty, bien sur--had a wonderful stash of the stuff, treated me with some.
As for Azincourt (it's spelled that way, by the way) -- the Brits had to fight with pants down because of bad episodes the previous night, and still beat the crap out of the French!
Well, they called the bluff and found it as empty as Ted Kennedy's cranium.....Not even papertiger, more like toilet tissue.

ReplyDeleteVDH has another take.
ReplyDeleteAA: toilet tissue? Ah, but it has Penrose tiles on it.

ReplyDeleteArmagnac's Revenge has the wrong connotation, having had a couple episodes back in my Francophile days...

Didn't they have better weapons?
