Not Your Sweetie

More proof W started the "hate France" campaign personally:

NY Post reports
President Bush privately refers to French President Jacques Chirac, who bitterly opposed Bush's Iraq policy, as "The Jackass," according to a new book.

"The relationship between your president and ours is irreparable on the personal level," a U.S. official told a senior French military aide, according to the book, "Chirac Versus Bush — The Other War."

* Before the bitterly divided U.N. Security Council took up Iraq in early 2003, the French entourage met in Germany's U.N. mission because it was the only unbuggable place they could find.
The White House wouldn't take any calls from the French leadership for weeks after the U.S.-led invasion


I knew it was a personal grudge it as soon as I read an article about his attempt to blackmail Vincente Fox into supporting the war by saying: "A funny thing happened to France"

Students who challenged and embarrassed Bush in class would then become the subject of a whispering campaign by him, Tsurumi said. "In class, he couldn't challenge them. But after class, he sometimes came up to me in the hallway and started bad-mouthing those students who had challenged him. He would complain that someone was drinking too much. It was innuendo and lies. So that's how I knew, behind his smile and his smirk, that he was a very insecure, cunning and vengeful guy."
