Suddenly, Kerry Can't Speak French

John Kerry used to speak French fluently.

The New Yorker reveals the plight of "Alain de Chalvron, the Washington bureau chief for France 2, the French equivalent of the BBC."

Despite the anger many Americans felt about France's appeasement during the war with Iraq, de Chalvron found some solace in John Kerry.

The magazine noted that Kerry "went to a Swiss boarding school, he has a cousin who ran for the French Presidency, and he supposedly wooed Teresa Heinz by impressing her with his fluent French."

During his primary campaign, he was noted for engaging French journalists in French.

"He was quite accessible in Iowa and New Hampshire," de Chalvron told the New Yorker.

"He understands French very well. His words are correct and sometimes even sophisticated. . ."

But that has all seemed to come to an end as Kerry has developed "linguistic amnesia."

De Chalvron recalls recently asking Kerry about Iraq. Kerry just stood there mute.

"He didn't answer. In front of the American journalists, he didn't want to take a question that was not in English," de Chalvron said.
