President hails Frankenstein

The President’s speech following the attack on the Transcontinental Road Race by the French Air Force, in which they were defeated by the heroic driver and racing champion Frankenstein:

There has been a lot of talk about American rebels. We have positive proof that it was none other than the treacherous French who have been sabotaging our great race. Just as they and their stinking European allies have undermined and destroyed our great national economy. It is no coincidence, my dear children, that the word “sabotage” was invented by the French.

Our enemy, the French, have destroyed nearly all our gallant racers. Just as they have crippled our once-great economy, and wrecked our telephone system. But even they, in all their evil power, were not able to destroy Frankenstein, who is the embodiment of our national virtue and therefore indestructible. It is fitting that Frankenstein should be the one chosen by your president to lead you in this war against the French which I now decree.
