Depp gets it right:
Depp slammed George W. Bush's administration for its criticism of French opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq. "I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots," he told Stern.
I saw Jack Cafferty make a snide remark along the lines of 'I love how these Hollywood types come out and make these political pronouncements.' No mention, of course, of the 'Hollywood type' trying to weasel his way into the California governorship.

the french were probobly happy to see french fries renamed too, its not like they were french to begin with. they probobly also enjoyed seeing stupid americans pouring thousands of dollars worth of french wine into the gutters too
(after all the americans had already payed for the wine, why should they care)
the french dont need us, or want us. there is no "evil" communist empire for us to "protect" them from. they have a perfectly good history and culture of their own, and have no need of ours. they have also gained and lost several empires, so they have a certain historical perspective that we lack as the biggest bully on the block. they know that even the biggest bully can be beaten by a large enough group of weak people, england should also know better, but i guess they share too much history with america to learn from the past.

I have a couple of problems with Depp's remarks. First, he should not confuse Knucklehead's Administration with the United States. His condemnation should be directed solely at the Administration (unlike my own). Second, his comments were surprisingly inarticulate.
Guess his career will soon be in the toilet once Michael Eisner gets that phone call from Uncle Karl.

Hey Cafferty, give us the news and quit making snide comments. Better yet, why don't you stick to the thing you do best, like running over bikers?
