The French Aren’t Too Pleased with Jeb Bush

[IDemo]

Former Florida Governor and 2016 GOP presidential hopeful Jeb Bush is having a bad day. His performance in Wednesday’s night debate is getting horrible reviews. And his attack on Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s voting record has made him new, French critics.

During the debate, Bush, who is well behind front runner Donald Trump in the polls, said the U.S. Senate has a “French work week” of “three days.” Turns out, the French ambassador to the United States, Gérard Araud, took issue with this characterization. He took to Twitter to voice his displeasure:

A French work week of 3 days? No but a pregnancy paid leave of 16 weeks yes! And proud of it.

In any country, electoral campaigns offer the opportuniity for a lot of bombastic nonsense. Let's be indulgent. https://t.co/fRyjoYYYjn

1. It's such a comfort to hear the French went oui-oui in Jebbie's Corn Flakes.

It is well deserved.

12. Maybe the Democrats in the House should do what the Republicans usually do in these situations?

Start bloviating about how: "If he's ever actually ELECTED President, we can start IMPEACHMENT proceedings against him during his first day in office for offending a foreign power."
