Happy Lunar New Year from Vietnam, folks.

Actually it's a pretty sad state of affairs when education and learning are marks of inauthenticity. I've known people who spoke six languages and thought nothing of it.

You are correct that George Bush did not speak French, but to his credit, he did speak another language - Spanish, and he was quite fluent in it. Just a comment.

Ah, mon amis . . . ce magnifique!

Your excellent post brings to mind a froggy french philosopher much beloved by our founding fathers, though I have a funny feeling that today's crop of pining for the past republicans would just as soon forget he ever existed. I speak of Francois Marie Arouet, known to history by his pen name: Voltaire.

"Prejudices are what fools use for reason." -Voltaire

"Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers." -Voltaire

I also couldn't help but remembering that scene from Casablanca (irony alert: it means white house in another, subversive, foreign language) when Laszlo makes the house band play "Le Marseillaise."

I tried to order a little gay croissanwich at Burger King this morning. I wanted to see if it came with sparkles. They pretended they didn't have any little gay croissants, but I feel like they were lying. If I understood how the Super PAC thing worked, I'd make one, and run negative ads against that Burger King kid because I couldn't get what I wanted.

Thank you for enlightening me. I am now far less worried about Mr. Romney's possible presidency.

(And the ability to laugh at Newt once more? Priceless!)

2012-01-16T19:43:25.169-09:00

"Imagine a President who believes in that science crap! Why he might believe that the earth is more than 6000 years old!... Why, why what if Mitt Romney believes in Global Climate Change?"

Don't get your knickers in a bunch over that possibility. It's a requirement of the GOP platform that all elected party members be as ignorant as dirt about science and reject overwhelming factual evidence, especially of climate change and evolution.

We already had a Republican president who arranged his schedule according to an astrologer. Any day now they're going to make it mandatory for their candidates to believe that the sun orbits the earth, and then they'll make it mandatory to teach it that way.

Just doing their bit to make America an international laughingstock.

A year and half in Monterey CA on the taxpayer dimw, and all I really learned was how to sail and blow shit up.

2012-01-16T11:30:32.550-09:00

Remember the guy who occupied the Maison Blanc between the Clinton disaster era and the Islamic poccolips years? Shrub or Peanut or Ibn Sharmuta.........Doubleyou!! That's it!

I recall that W beat down David Gregory during a joint press call with Jack Chirac when Greg asked Chirac a question in French. Bush's pissed off response to Gregory's linguistic faux pas would be comical if it wasn't so cringe inducing.

Bush had a dickish and infantile pout when Gregory spoke real French to a Frenchy. As opposed to W's Cliff Notes Mexican. Safety tip: Never show up the POTUS in front of another head of state.

I am unsure that Obama speaks a foreign language other than English and Jive. Certainly Arabic and Swahili. Or Samburu perhaps. Anyway, something brown and read from left to right; or articulated with clicks and glottal stops.

I think its very helpful for our next CEOIC to understand the tongue of our enemy. (That came out wrong didn't it? But, now its in your head.) The GOP short bus, mouth breathing voters don't care what comes out his gob as long as he is white and not Obama.

Anyway they are all better than us, so keep the noise down or Willard will take away the internet when he's in charge.

Well, there's that and the fact that I've been sicker than hell for about two weeks. Hard to think clearly, let alone write, when your head is full of giant globs of gelatinous gooey phlegm.

"Ronald Reagan was as American as the Statue of Liberty!"

I saw what you did there.

Hoo-ha! Another gem, and about damn time! Why, one would think you actually had better things to do with your time than sit there churning out blog posts for your fans.

2012-01-15T11:53:59.385-09:00
Personally I'm beginning to think it's all a long false flag operation to drain democratic coffers on all this opposition research. Or the conservative think they're "clearing house" so the progressives can't use any of the dirt in the general election.

2012-01-15T10:58:51.495-09:00
I'm pretty sure the Statue of Liberty speaks French, too.

Except they don't let her talk any more, because she keeps trying to say that shit about give me your tired, your poor....

2012-01-15T10:52:42.188-09:00
Newt should have a new video out soon attacking Romney for giving money instead of telling her to get a job. Of course with Newt. she might find herself competing with 13 year old for those "high paying" school janitor jobs.

When did the unemployed become evil?

2012-01-15T10:52:24.681-09:00
I had something interesting happen today. I was talking to my neighbor, who tends to bring up all the latest "conservative" talking points, and instead of the latest Faux News spin, he was *gasp!* talking about how corporations have too much power and how that's the real reason people are having so many problems.

This is the same guy who actually believed the birthers until I printed out Obama's birth certificate, refers to Obama as "your" Obama (my response--He isn't "my" Obama, I didn't vote for him!), and generally subscribes to most of the myths making the rounds.

So maybe there's hope!

2012-01-15T09:03:24.428-09:00
Well if we're thinking about electing someone who speaks Frog, I'm lining up behind Dominique Strauss-Kahn! After being accused of sleeping with prostitutes, he countered that he "may" have slept with some at orgies but he "defies anyone to tell the difference between a naked prostitute and any other naked woman"!

Vive La Frogs!

You missed French Letters.

"Although the dissertation is written entirely in English, the footnotes give evidence that Gingrich had a quite adequate command of written French." from a post about Newt's PhD http://robertpaulwolff.blogspot.com/2011/11/newt-gingrichs-doctoral-dissertation.html

Now I'll go back and read the whole thing, with my coffee cup on the table. At least I had a spare keyboard.
