Do you think this means, that we don't have to call them Freedom Fries any more!

(9,895 posts)They are fine with Lady Liberty...they just imagine its a middle finger salute being held high and not the torch of liberty....and their version of the inscription is a lot different than reality...

(12,272 posts)The family pays for it and the missionary works very hard under difficult circumstances. Going on a mission is such a big deal in Mormon culture, no one dare complain about it. Mitt and his mission just laughs in the face of all the others, Mitt is just so damn irritating.

Mention France, and they'll get pissed off.

(6,335 posts)I wonder how many French chateaus and Italian Villas he owns. Probably a Swiss Chalet or two also.
France is so socialist that he has to keep a watch over it.

(18,184 posts)now that Mitt Romney likes it...but it's still cool enough.
I was in Paris for a few days on a business trip (for a credit card company) about ten years ago. I have hazy memories of lunch with beer, elegant 19th century buildings with ornate iron railings on the balconies, waiters who addressed you formally as "Monsieur", crazy lane-free traffic near the Arc de Triomphe, and the common habit of working for an extra two hours from 5pm to 7pm (which of course isn't that unusual but I wondered if it had more to do with finding an excuse to see one's mistress...).
I'd like to visit again, partially because I'm a fan of French comic book artists (like Moebius) - it would be nice to root around in some of the obscure bookshops in the backstreets of Paris.

(135,425 posts)He was at the wheel, the boss's wife didn't make it, and as a consequence the boss said screw this shit and went home, and Mitt moved up in the Mormon church because he took over for the boss.
And, to make it more juicy, it was a drunken priest who was in the OTHER car!
The GOP always seems to have a car or plane wreck in the back of their campaign histories....
Police who arrived on the scene initially assumed that Romney was dead. A photo of him in the hospital later shows him with a cast on his arm and a black eye.) Tragically, the wife of the mission leader did die, and her injured husband departed France almost immediately. Romney, who had been transferred to Paris by then, was temporarily tasked with co-administrating to the needs of 200 missionaries in France until the Mormon hierarchy managed to send a new elder to take the leaders place.
And of course, in typical Mitt The Shit fashion, he disses the country that put up with him trying to interfere with their culture and customs with his noxious prosletyzing!

What a man!
Even though man is a social animal, a republican teaBragger isn't and damned proud of it. Mitt is dumbing himself down to become a hard core, born again, TeaBragger.
