Quelle horreur! Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney has been skewered in a new political attack ad - for speaking French.
The ad, released by rival Newt Gingrich, seeks to draw unflattering parallels between Mr Romney and another Massachusetts politician, John Kerry.
Entitled The French Connection, it features a clip of Mr Romney talking in French when he ran the Winter Olympics.

He knows the country hangs in the balance and he has the courage to go against the so-called establishment.
Newt also knows that Obama will utterly destroy Romney.
As Newt said a few weeks ago (I paraphrase)..."this game has just begun."
For those who don't understand what Newt is doing...keep in mind that his actions are laid over a template of history. I am currently reading "Troublesome Young Men" (a book recommended by Newt)...and our country is in great parallel with what happened in England before Chanberlain's demise, Churchill's rise, and WWII.
Understanding history--really understanding it--gives us great strength. Read it...understand it.
We too must take our place in history.
My idea of the first 100 years in heaven. Fishing one's way across the Atlantic.
Plenty of fuel and single malt scotch and Irish whisky...enough fishing gear to catch bait and troll for swordfish and tuna and whatever else grabs the line.
Good company and plenty of good books...and time away from politics.
LOL, Good deal, my little woman is like that, she loves to fish.
Pardon me for a moment...where's the rail?;-)
LOL,
A lot about politics is stupid.
A lot about politics is stupid.
Trouble is: when professorial people (and other like them) want to show they're regular folks, they tend to go for slumming. I'm sure that's why more than a few posters here saw the ad as "stupid" (condescending?)
Yeah I did, but I’m going thru withdrawal... give me another day or two....
BTW...I think it’s a fair question to ask Romney how many Catholics he converted...
Also, I heard that you’d be heart broken if I left, so I think I’ll stay on a bit longer just to p*ss you off some more.... lol
Probably because they’re not regular folks.
You don’t make me angry.
‘You might have heard that the Congressional cafeteria subsequently renamed french fries as Freedom fries.’
Oh, we know. It was front page news here, and around the world, and it made America and Americans look like backward idiots.
Romney = Kerry LOL!
Romneycare is the reason.
Romney should go home to the dimocratic party.
Sorry, but you didnt rename a fast food and expect everyone to applaud, did you?.
Again, you seem to have a problem understanding what people say. I said it made America and Americans LOOK like backward, kneejerk idiots, I didnt say you were.
Had the freedom fries thing been done in humour, the world would have laughed. But given that it was serious, even those of us who support America thought it was idiotic and counterproductive.
BTW, as for 1776, I am related to Alexander Hamilton, and Scots formed the backbone of the revolutionary forces.
I suppose the Burr family is not on your Christmas card list?
