If Ever a Visiting Frenchman Needed to be Pantsed . . .

The BBQ Pit

NEW YORK (AP)—A French author who suggests that the Sept. 11 attacks were devised by a faction of the U.S. military is planning to promote his book on a tour that will begin in New York City. Thierry Meyssan’s book, 9-11, The Big Lie, also suggests that the Pentagon was hit by an American missile, and not a hijacked airliner. USA Books, a subsidiary of the book’s French publisher, said he could launch the tour as early as this month. The French press ridiculed the book, but it became a best seller in France for three months. The Pentagon has called the allegations in the book “more than insulting.” Lt. Col. Ken McClellan, a Defense Department spokesman, said Monday he was appalled that Meyssan is planning a U.S. visit.

—I am normally not in favor of shouting people down, but this guy really is in need of a . . . well, serious wedgie, at the very least.

And yet again froglegs taste like chicken.

It seems 50 million Frenchmen can be wrong!

I agree with you there Eve. He is starting his propaganda tour in NYC? I bet he will meet a pretty icy reception. If he comes to DC he may well be lynched, that is if he doesn’t get lynched in NYC.

I don’t even want to comment upon the stupidity of him saying that the plane that hit the Pentagon was really a missile.

How about we make a fund for him to buy him a tinfoil hat to ward off the mind control rays while we are at it?

And, in true American form, the press will give him all sorts of free press in every town he visits.

This is awesome. I can’t wait to see the vast amounts of heckling he’ll be getting. If he ever comes to Houston, I can’t decide which I’d rather do…Be in a crowd insulting him, or getting his autograph for morbid curiousity/eBay values…

7

didn’t Jerry Lewis prove that?

Somebody call Buzz Aldrin.

Can you imagine the 911 call to the NYPD when the crowd gets out of hand?

Caller: Help! There’s a riot at the Borders Books!

911 Operator: Calm down, calm down. What caused the riot?

Caller: Well, there was this guy here doing a book signing for this book he wrote about how the US military planned the 9/11 attacks…

<click>

Caller: Hello! Hello! Are you there?

<dial tone>

:smiley:

Eve, ya want volunteers?

<goes into closet, gets baseball bat, calls up all the cops and firemen in her neighborhood>

11

50 millions perhaps could …But 60 millions of us can’t…

12

Maybe all 60 million of you need a good pantsing.

Although you weirdos would probably enjoy it. :slight_smile:

13

Americans are so goofy now I predict no rioting and good solid sales fo his silly book.

Heck, he might get on Good Morning America in the name of “fairness.”

I like the wedgie idea myself.

14

That’s not such a bad idea. It will provide a signal for the next missile to home in on.

*Does reading that name aloud bring out the really, really bad French accent in anyone else?

17

Call me a pollyanna, but I take this as a sign of the subtle wit and understated humor of the French people. Jerry Lewis not withstanding.

18

I just woke up the whole neighborhood with my laughing.

As to the OP… there are a lot of stupid-dumb crackpots in this world. I try to keep my panties un-bunched and my knickers twist-free about this sort of thing.

19

Isn’t “bad French accent” redundant?

[sub]nuke paris…nuke paris…nuke paris…**

Hey, at least it would reduce the number of the idiotic farmers demanding greater subsidies!

Stoning is illegal, right?
