french fries = freedom fries = hot fries
Real French fries are not really long and thin but with a stretch of the imagination you might say they resemble a finger, well okay stretch it a bit further, just like kids do!
Well fingers can get caught in doors, or cookie pots, a get tangled up shaking fingers on the wrong hands, or slipping favours to other fingers for favours received, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
With another stretch of the imagination freedom fries might be see to resemble the fingers from the wave of a hand by someone like Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela.
What are hot fries then? Well maybe Republican Congressman Bob Ney can tell us the answer to that. Republican Congressman Bob Ney did not invent the name French Fries, that honour went to someone else, nor did he come up with the name of Freedom Fries, that went to someone else too. However when France refused, correctly so it would now seem, to back President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq Republican Congressman Bob Ney stood up and shouted his mouth off about France and uttered such expressions as betrayal and ordered that French fries be renamed Freedom Fries in the restaurants of Capitol Hill which his department was in charge of.
Bob Ney, a Republican lawmaker has now pleaded guilty to corruption charges. In return for political favours he accepted tickets, free meals, an all-expenses-paid golfing trip to Scotland and other hospitality gifts and so on.
Yeah yeah Mr French fries, or Freedom Fries, I think we all know what kind of freedom that is, don’t we!
Well we are not going to have to stretch our imagination to know that this is another example from a republican lawmaker from Capitol Hill in recent days! Nor are we going to have to do any stretching to figure out who the real betrayers are. But I have to stretch my imagination really far, so far I haven’t made it yet, to imagine the kind of “law” these people on Capitol Hill really create! Hot Fries? OR “Freedom” Fries if you have the right connections, the power, the deft of fingers, and control of the restaurants, and law making? And sit on Capitol Hill (eating your ....... fries!).
