You should have a new Foreign Language Game.

New rules for Americans:

If you speak French, you’re a traitor!
If you speak Arabic, you’re a terrorist!
If you speak German, you’re a wimp!
If you speak English well, you’re elitist!
If you speak Spanish well, you might as well be foreign!
If you speak Russian, you’re a commie!

well… maybe The Language Game instead. Well-spoken English isn’t foreign–it just means you hate America.

mais, je parle francais, et je suis americain, et, aussi, je ne suis pas terrorist!

Mon Dieu!! What does that make Kerry’s wife?

Isn’t “yadda yadda yadda” a Seinfeld-coined phrase? Isn’t Seinfeld a show about a bunch of Northeast Liberals?

How ironic.

Oh my, we are so busted!

Well, I think France is about to become more popular with The Right, or at least with the soon-to-be “Ann Coulter-McCarthy” and “Peggy Noonan-Bartley”:

Frenchwoman marries dead boyfriend

A 35-year-old Frenchwoman has married her dead boyfriend with a macabre exchange of vows that required authorisation from the French president.

Under French law, Christelle Demichel became both bride and widow as a result of the ceremony, which was performed at Nice City Hall on the French Riviera.

The deceased groom, a former policeman identified as Eric, was not present at the ceremony. He was killed by a drunk driver in September 2002.

Demichel, dressed in a demure black suit, told LCI television she was fully aware that “it could seem shocking to marry someone who is dead”, but her fiance’s absence from her life had not dimmed her feelings for him.

According to French law, a marriage between a living person and a dead person can take place as long as preliminary civic formalities have been completed that show the couple had planned to marry.

Before the ceremony can take place, it must be approved by the French president.

I guess the truest American, like George Bush, is slightly less than monolingual.

Frenchwoman marries dead boyfriend

Did Laura Bush marry her boyfriend after she killed him?

Riffing off of Miss Authoritiva, Molly Ivins once commented on Bush’s attempts to learn Spanish:

“People think that because Bush cannot speak English, he must be better in Spanish. He is not. The man is not bilingual. He is bi-ignorant.”

French-bashing — they’re *still* French bashing…. They just can’t bear to part with a riff, can they? Ten years from now, they’re still going to be laughing at the big yuks of Operation Iraqi Freedom Year One: “Axis of Weasels!” “Hans Blix looks like Inspector Clouseau!”

Then again, this is the party that still thinks that all Americans get angry at the very mention of Jane Fonda, Dan Rather, and Ted Kennedy.

So…Kerry speaks TWO languages while our Resident can’t even speak ONE? (Unless you consider Texan, and bad Texan at that, a separate dialect.)
Besides, French was a good thing to know in Viet Nam, speaking as a combat vet of THAT fiasco.
Most Vietnamese I came in contct with spoke Vietnamese, French, AND better English than our Yalie unelected.
