Today's Hoot!
Liane Bonin at Entertainment Weekly provides Jerry Rigged:
A Jerry Lewis hoax fools French President Chirac. A Los Angeles radio DJ posing as the American comedian discusses the war in Iraq with France's leader.
Follow the link for the hijinks, but I liked this part:
Chirac also expressed appreciation for at least one of Bush's prewar tactics: ''Without the boys [the military] sent over there, we would not have had the result of Saddam accepting to disarm. But now that we've achieved that, we can avoid war. The United States has to be very careful, because if people hold this against them, it's not good for the equilibrium of the world.''
Jackanapes is even a bigger idiot than I had guessed.
