Now that Frank Paynter has changed his name to “Freedom Paynter” because “Frank sounds too French somehow,” and the NeoReactionary Republicans are accusing the Right-Wing Republicans of being “Franco-Republicans,” I feel impelled to take a stand and say:

Not only is the country beautiful and the art is beautiful and the food is beautiful, but the people are friendly and warm and I agree with France’s position on the Iraqi war: If this was a war about WMDs, we should have given the inspectors more time.

So, to protest the “French” to “Freedom” translation, I am going to start referring to the Republicans as the “Gaullist Party.”

PS: Frank was joking.
