Still uses "freedom fries" on his menu. For years he played bashing statements on the resturant's window. You could place the Rogers County (OK)  chief judge who stiil wants to "Nuke" Paris on your nut list. Off subject, you need to add to your list of French-bashing resturants the following:

I changed the front page of the site to the documented French bashing I often need to access. Advertising is very expensive, I've done the research for tourisme and - egads ! Expensive ! Thanks for your kind words. Oh thanks ! I changed the front page of the site to the documented French bashing I often need to access.

It needs to be used more and word of mouth is not enough.  Maybe an ad in the NYT or LAT or on CNN or MSNBC. All these and, of course, the Canadian Networks. Anyway, Miquelon should receive recognition for being a pioneer with a lot of courage and common sense.   Miquelon is a great webbsite with easy fonts to reference information.

His original commentary during the height of French-bashing in Washington when it really mattered, is what counts, not his stereotype routine jokes (admittedly that one sucked) that are part of his act. Another American journalist who should be given credit for is Mark Shields. In an episode of CNN's"Capital Gang", commentators were asked their views of whether France deserved the flurry of French-bashing that was raging at the time, he simply answered "The French came to our aid when we needed them, and for me that's good enough".  Give Bill Maher a chance.

I keep concluding that a lot of normally pro-French persons were silenced by the radical right in the US.  The couldn't respond because the French Embassy didn't supply people to the CNN, MSNBC, PBS circut who could provide answers. I only saw the French make its' presence felt on C-SPAN!  I guess that you can not blame  Chris Mathews if the French made no effort to get on his, and others', shows. If they did, and they were rejected, we should know about it. Onced provided some ammo, Chris Mathews could make an excellent choice. But then, if  Bill Maher already has regreated his comments, he will and be still a good choice too. I keep thinking about “WHO” and the years leading up to Iraq through today.

He is very smart and does have a positive attitude towards France. The problem is that Chris seems short on knowledge about the facts when it comes to foreind issues like why France did not support the US invasion of Iraq. Until Chris can stand up to conservative and British "experts" who come on his show and outright lie, I would leave him off your list. I really like Chris Mathews.
