French Tabloid "L'Anti-Americain" Takes Aim at the U.S.
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/france_anti_american_paper

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 (news - web sites) 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 (news - web sites): Where's China?"

The first edition in December sold 7,500 copies, advertised only by word-of-mouth and its eye-catching cover, Royer said.


Its Bush re-election headline read: "France offers political asylum to Americans!"
