Wwhellll...  I think I'll start a revolutionary blog talking to French people about berets and Gerard Depardieu!  Brilliant!  

Sorry.  It is one thing to want to reach out to us, another to embrace stereotypes.  He said he wants to avoid "touchy" issues that might hurt French-American relations.  God forbid...  

Man, I don't know anyone in this country who "loves" McDonalds!  What is up with this recent slew of Frenchmen (Bernard-Henri Lévy, every "expert" interviewed on NPR about the recent demonstrations ...) who are so eager to kiss up to the very Americans who make fun of them?  Kinda creepy.  

But I agree that he should be introduced to ET.
