After I wrote my Kamala Harris shopping-spree piece here, deriding Harris's rude refusal to speak French to the locals at a fancy cookware shop in Paris, AT editor Thomas Lifson pointed out something important:
Kamala Harris actually ought to be able to speak French.
Here's how she did:
Turns out she was educated during her four high school years in Montreal, Canada, where her mother worked as a cancer researcher during the late 1970s, early 1980s. Montreal is Canada's top French-speaking city. In 1977, approximately just when she arrived, a law was passed in Quebec requiring the use of the French language. Apparently there were a lot of Kamalas around who weren't doing it. Despite that law, she still doesn't seem to have picked up any French.

The only thing French she picked up probably had a mustache.
Cajun French is similar to some Redneck after a year of classic French immersion. “MaiS Wee?”
She probably could understand basic written and spoken French, but wouldn’t venture to speak it in public for fear of making mistakes. That’s pretty typical of North Americans and foreign languages. It’s also standard procedure for politicians to rely on interpreters, both in public and in private.
She can cackle in 18 different languages.
Off topic, but it’s interesting how people can understand each other. I was in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea, haggling with an old, deaf lady about the price of some item. The whole time, the only thing we used was a calculator, and we communicated fine.
I referred to my ex-wife as “La belle dame sans-merci”.

My thoughts exactly. When you are dumb as a box of rocks, the only thing you have to sell is between your legs (excuse me ladies), and she did just that being Willie Brown’s Ho out in Kaliforniahomostan back in her earlier days. I wonder about her husband. Didn’t the guy know his new wife was Brown’s whore all those years. Certainly, Brown’s wife did. I read an article some time back where Mrs. Brown said she did not mind Willie having his girlfriend because “Willie works so hard and he needs his little releases of the pressures he is under.” (or words to that effect). But Mrs. Brown KNEW her husband was humping Harris, so why didn’t her husband???? Maybe he liked being married to a Ho. Who the hell knows about these liberal commies!!!
It’s SO not real French that I’ve been asked (while speaking French) three times in Montreal and once in Quebec City if I am from France.
That has never happened to me (not even close) in Belgium, Switzerland, or, (duh) France.
I think the Quebeckers are so used to the sullen, hostile, mangled French spoken by their English Canadian visitors that when they meet a North American speaking half-way decent French, they just assume he must be from France.
The Browns weren’t living together and hadn’t been for years. Of course Blanche Brown is going to say things like that to save face and make up for the fact that Willie hadn’t been playing a role in her life for years.
Interesting, I’m much more Frog than I thought.
C’mon man! She had the accent down . . .
Kin y’all sell me a huntin’ license?
“Quebec french is not Real French”
This is true.
They had to find someone dumber than joe to be his vp.
“Oh, she certainly knows a little French:
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.....”
WINNER!
Post of the thread.
I actually expected Kamalamadingdong to become a media darling like Mo Obama was for 8 yrs but it really hasn’t happened. Even libs are snarking on her.
I think that’s because they realize the party needs somebody better for the 2024 race. Booty-Gig seems to be the media golden boy right now.
She doesn’t use English very well either.
