More Cinco de Mayo French-bashing, this time from Chevy's. Last night while driving home I heard a Chevy's commercial that contrasted Chevy's cuisine with hoity-toity French food. Then the announcer said "Fortunately on Cinco de Mayo, the Mexicans kicked French butt, so you can enjoy the great food at Chevy's."

This makes me wonder: There's been a lot of guilt tripping by bloggers and columnists about how the French sent us this general in 1777 and that statue in 1886, so we should lay off the French-bashing. Well the French haven't done squat for Mexico, except to invade their country in 1862 and install a puppet emperor. Do any of these Francophiles think that Mexico's policy towards France in 2003 should be any different from America's because of that history?
