Kansas City, Missouri-AP -- France's reluctance to go to war against Iraq is bringing some ridicule from some top Republicans.
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt entertained a Missouri Republican convention with cracks about France. He asked how many Frenchmen it would take to defend Paris. His punchline -- "It's not known, it's never been tried" -- drew loud laughs and applause.
He also said he heard a French rifle was being auctioned on the Internet described as "Never shot, dropped once."
And speaking today on Fox News Sunday, Republican Senator John McCain said France reminds him of an aging actress from the 1940s who's still trying to get by on her looks -- but who "doesn't have the face for it."
