WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (UPX) -- U.S. House Republicans have dropped their snub of France by renaming french fries "freedom fries" at House cafeterias. Instead, they will henceforth be called "quagmire fries".

As well, "freedom toast" has been renamed "Rummy's toast" on menus, but nobody on the Hill wanted to say how that name was chosen, or what it's supposed to imply.

Neither Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, nor Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., who led the renaming campaign three years ago would comment, nor would cafeteria staff.

Ney announced the name changes at the height of anti-French sentiment in March 2003, when Paris refused to take part in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and called it premature.
