French tabloid takes aim at the U.S.

PARIS -- Forget about all that trans-Atlantic talk of kiss-and-make-up following the "Freedom Fries"-era disagreements between France and the United States. There's a new tabloid on Paris newsstands offering an alternate take: "L'Anti-Americain."

The cheeky newspaper's editor-in-chief says Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice can have a free issue of the satirical monthly when she's in Paris next week.

She'll need to have packed her sense of humor. This month's issue features an entry in a bogus George W. Bush diary that reads: "Ask the CIA: Where's China?"

Rice and her French counterparts hope to rebuild ties bruised by disagreements over the U.S.-led war in Iraq. In Paris, a stop on her swing through Europe and the Middle East, she'll give a major speech in which she's expected to lay out her vision for American diplomacy.

Forget about all the trans-Atlantic talk of kiss-and-make-up, the pulse of France can also be measured with the new satirical newspaper. Front page reads : "Why does religion make them sex obssesed ?" and "Let's reply to the Yankee's press insults". (AP Photo/Laurent Emmanuel)

6. "France offers political asylum to Americans"...

That's the title of the front page of that second "edition" pictured there. I wonder if that is true. Maybe more of us should seek it. I studied French in high school and was majoring in it in college for two years. I bet I could pick it back up in a jiff!

Allons en France!!! :bounce: :headbang:
