I'm sick of French Bashing. It is hackneyed, cliched and not funny. The fact that it keeps showing up is annoying, and to my mind using it is a waste of space that could have been better used to be amusing in.

I'm seeing attack ads and columns against Kerry which are still saying things like "he has French relatives."

It's absolutely despicable, even when you strip off the raw bigotry involved.

At risk of sounding like a Liberal Elitist, anyone whose vote would be seriously swayed by something like that should be disqualified altogether from voting on the basis of being Too Stupid To Live.

One hopes that there will in fact be a backlash effect, though, along the lines of, "Good god, how dumb do these people think we are?"
