The comment was a reference to a poorly-kept “secret” that dogged the former Democratic presidential candidate during his bid to unseat then-incumbent George W. Bush in 2004: Kerry has a French connection. … But the politician’s “Frenchness” has not always been an advantage. While running for president in 2004, Kerry was ridiculed by Republicans for his closeness to the country seen as having spurned the US by refusing to...

Joseph A. Wilson IV: The French ConnectionNovember 7th, 2005 There are an amazing number of French fingerprints all over the Plame-Wilson affair. While it is not easy to penetrate the dark fog of lies, there is a highly consistent pattern pointing to French government involvement with a Watergate-style assault on the American Presidency, fronted by Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.In 2002 French intelligence forged the notorious document claiming that Saddam tried to obtain Niger uranium. The Italian middle man,Rocco Martino, later confessed to French involvement in open court. Rocco Martino might sound like a small-time mafia hood from the Sopranos. Actually,...

It's a good plan. I was talking to Marion Barry (the b*tch set me up) just the other day. He asked me what my drug plan was.

<p>As a Frenchman, I have certainly learned a lot about my country in recent weeks.</p>
<p>"How dare the French forget," read a headline in the New York Post on Monday, on a page with a photograph of a military cemetery in Normandy.</p>
