More nuanced, and ultimately more morally profound...

Kerry v/s Bush? Nope. Guess then. At The Chaser comes this report:
French claim Paris riots “more cultured” than American riots
French authorities have hit back at international claims they are not doing enough to stem worsening violence in the Parisian suburbs, claiming that French rioting is “richer” than recent problems in the UK and US.

“Unrest after the New Orleans hurricane showed America to be deeply divided country – on the one hand the wealthiest nation on earth, but still blighted with an underclass unable to escape a cycle of poverty and desperation,” said President Jacques Chirac. “It’s a rather clichéd motif. The variety of tensions leading to cars being set on fire here is much more nuanced, and ultimately more morally profound.”
And yes, "The Chaser" is an Australian satire site but this is sooo close to the truth that it's funny. Posted by DaveH at November 13, 2005 7:04 PM
