Must see: AFP gives some love to those 'diesel angels' helping rescue effort in Houston

One of the most popular posts on Twitchy recently featured a video of members of Texas’s “Redneck Army” coming to the rescue of the National Guard in a monster truck. Here it is again:

Someone at Agence France Presse must have been pretty impressed by the sight, and AFP put together a video including an interview with one of the drivers putting his truck to good use, and it’s great.

Never mind Chelsea Clinton: watching the rescue effort in Houston has been great for America … and maybe it’s swelled a couple of hearts in France, too.
