Boy, it's a good thing Rep. Ney isn't a complete idiot. But why stop there? There are so many countries opposing the war that still have foods and drinks named after them, including some, presumably, that are still on the House menu from time to time. German mashed potatoes. Belgian waffles. Dutch chocolate. Swedish meatballs. White Russians. Black Russians. Irish coffee.

And, of course, Turkey. It is a crime against our men and women in uniform -- ney, against Americans everywhere -- that, come November, they will be forced to celebrate their day of Thanksgiving by dining on this foul bird, no less treacherous than the country after which it is named. It is said that turkey makes you sleepy -- much as Turkey would have us slumber while the tyrant Saddam menaces our freedom. Congressman Ney, your duty is clear.
