That's why he won't speak French - BBC had video of French TV trying to get Kerry to speak French.
He could come out and do so, Bush tries Spanish, but Kerry is so entwined with France he knows there would be a backlash.
It seems 50% of his speeches have to do with France - he uses the code word "allies." But he has no problem saying a four-letter f word. go figure.
Yeah, most people who don`t follow politics don`t realize he is a Frenchy. They see the Kerry name, see Ted "Blotto" Kennedy along side him and assume he is a Mass Irish Kennedy type. My mother who is one of those, one of the "undecided" wouldn`t believe me if I told her. She was as everyone else, really teed off with that whole French backstabbing thing in the UN "After we were attacked they won`t help us?" so if this French side of him was publicized more, Ouch, forget it, he`s finished!! Maybe Republicans should make a commercial of him with le French beret and music?
