Oh dear lord.

Florida Representative Ginny Brown-Waite (do click on the link; the picture is worth a thousand words) has introduced a bill -- her second -- proposing that the US pay to have the remains of slain WWII GIs brought back from France to the United States, because as you are no doubt aware, we don't like the French anymore. According to CNN:

Brown-Waite, a freshman Republican, said she decided to sponsor the bill after she was approached by a constituent who said he wanted to bring home his father, who was killed in World War II and buried in France.

No doubt this man's father and thousands of his slain colleagues, who died in terror in the chaos of Normandy, would want their remains picked up and moved after 50 years in order to express pique at France's suggestion that perhaps we ought to think carefully before starting a war that few are convinced is necessary.

The American Legion is looking at the legislation, but their spokesman noted that "a lot of people may not want to repatriate their fallen loved ones, separating them from their comrades, to make a statement about the French government."
