Yep.

If the US and France were a couple of people, France would be writing
Dear Abby asking why someone who has been a good friend for so many
years, one who's butt they've saved a couple of times, is suddenly
treating them worse than some of their enemies because of one
disagreement.

Abby's answer would probably point out that fair weather friends that
allow you to save them, and then treat you like crap are not really
friends, but dysfunctional users.

I'm ashamed of the way we're treating France.

It's gotten to the point that we're treating our friends like crap. It's
going to backfire on us with a vengeance. I don't care how big you think
you are, you don't schedule a fight for after school, and then spend the
day bullying your buddies -- unless you also are bribing them with cash.

What's a joke is that our foreign policy is just that. The sad thing is
that joke isn't funny either.

All this because some people in Florida didn't clean the chads off their
ballots.
