McConnell: "Dems want to turn us into FRANCE!!!" - Daily Kos: State of the Nation

No, seriously, that's what the man said. Almost verbatim:

"It's pretty clear to me that the Democratic agenda is to turn us into France," the Kentucky Republican told The Washington Times in an unusually blunt interview at his office in the Capitol. "Americans may want change, but the question is, what kind of change?"

Seriously, I don't get all the France-bashing. They've got excellent food, excellent wine, they've produced some fine writers and philosophers, and they've won a World Cup.

I guess one could bash France for having elected Nicolas Sarkozy, but somehow I doubt that's what McConnell is getting at.

Not sure the France-bashing is going to win him anything.  (Yes, those stupid French and their refusal to back the Awesomest War Evah....)  McConnell's only hope for reelection might be Obama's skin color.  Last I looked, McConnell was anemic in Kentucky, with an approval down in the mid- to low-40s.

And the European right wants to turn France into the US!

I offer you a swap.

We'll give you the European People's Party in exchange for the Democrats.

I doubt much would change.
