I really do come here for the music and I try to keep my comments non-political, but some of this crap is just so far over the line that I feel like it is just wrong to leave it unchallenged.
Nicely put. |

In this case, it's pretty obvious that he was, and is, correct.
"The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq." Dennis Miller
Number of truffles found in Iraq: 0
Number of WMDs found in Iraq: 0
Looks about even to me so far, Dennis.
"I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" Jay Leno
Right. Nobody in France did anything at all. The French Resistance never existed and played absolutely no role in liberating France. This is exactly the kind of ignorant, pandering BS that makes Leno such a revolting tool.

This was clever!
By the way, I love the song. I've also heard it for the first time in French CD I got from a friend.

Maybe Glockman45 was referring to her prior involvement with Mr. Jagger (wasn't anyone alive in '92 and remember Jerry Hall splattered all over the tabloids when she was flipped out about this gal?) She's a beautiful girl, but the music....? |

That you still liked me, It is somebody who said to me that you still liked me. Would be this possible then?
Sounds better in French... Kind of

dumb-she is after all a model. have you ever met a model?
french-perhaps shes italian. bruni is not a french name. however, she did sing in french.
whore-she dated donald trump.
all in all, it seems the "hick" just may have gotten it right. Let's dissect some more:
Past modeling employment is apparently incontrovertible proof of scant intellect; nationality documentation apparently becomes relevant should stupidity or whoring be established; and dating her is apparently of no consequence to the morals of Mr. Trump.
And, apparently, defense of the indefensible is high-minded. |

I love her voice, her emotion (which she does just right, no going overboard), and her looks are way above average. A beautiful song. It took a while before I realized foreign movies could be excellent. Foreign songs can be, too. This one proves it.
