Problems with the French language |
|
As we all know, one of the problems with the French is that they don't have a word for 'entrepreneur.' It may seem like they do to those of you who are still in that whole 'reality-based' way of thinking but if Boosh says they don't then they don't dang it!
I think Boosh should pursue this further; say something like this: "As I have said before, one of the problems with the French is...they don't have a word for...entrepreneur. And that fills me with a great sense of ennui. How will they ever experience joie de vivre without entrepreneurs?
They lost to the Germans because they didn't have words like bayonet, camouflage, espionage, lieutenant, parachute, rifle, ricochet, rachet, sabotage and torture. Why it's a fait accompli that they were giving carte blanche to their enemies by not having those words! (applause) They better get some of those words or it could be deja vu all over again."

3. i doubt Bush has the sange froide to pull off such a coup de grace, |
|
but Karl Rove, the enfant terrible of the right and bete noir of the left, will go tete-a-tete with the Democrats, trying -- encore -- to pull off another coup d'etat and maintain the vestigal priveledges of the ancien regime. In response to questions posed by the press, who are considered, chez Bush, to be nothing more agents provocateurs, Bush will give a verbal riposte, what he considers to be le mot juste: "L'etat, c'est moi!"
Zut alors!
