Just because the French government ridiculed our invasion of Iraq, the Congress cafeteria is serving Freedom, rather than French, fries? That seems a little far-fetched.

Does anyone remember the oil for food scam? the reason the frogs were stamping their feet and screaming and yelling about us going into Iraq was because they were getting paid to do so by Saddam and they were just being good little lackys so they could keep getting their checks. I was also glad to hear about those dirt bags getting fired, I have experienced the same thing in Quebec and I've also heard many stories about the frogs doing things like that, the whole bunch of them can go take a flying leap for all I care. This is a much cleaned up version of what I'd actually like to say!!!

And consider they were "invented" in the Netherlands it's even lamer.
I don't mind the French but those in Paris I find rude. On a visit I had several occurrences when I spoke English (American). The waiters in a very nice french tone would ask my "whore" what she wanted. They asked in French not knowing that she was in fact French just spoke English with an American accent. Her father was a member of the French government...several waiters lost their jobs that week.

Personally, I think the French are a bunch of ingrates. Of course this does not apply to all French, but probably just mostly the French Government. Let's not forget that we have saved their a.. in not one but two world wars and I do feel they owe us some respect. The French tend to be very self centered and care only for themselves.

It's just stupidity. I've never liked French people, but I've always said French Fries and French Toast. No reason to change, just because they keep proving their cowardice.

As far as I can remember, this was true, at least for a short period of time. I don't believe this is still the case. Same thing happened around WWII when saurkraut was renamed "Freedom Cabbage" or something along those lines.

the french, to some people, are known as "cheese eating surrender monkeys" and I don't think anyone wants to eat,"cheese eating surrender monkey fries".
on the other hand the french do save water, by showering only once a month and peeing in the street.

The French are shady. The government is just trying to be patriotic, it's just a potato.

It is a little silly, merely because the French did not invent them. It's a french cut.
