Remember Bush giving David Gregory a hard time because he spoke a few words of French to a French person...

I hate this stuff, but it's to be expected. Romney actually speaks serviceable French, but I heard him purposefully mangle "Jardin de Luxembourg" the other day just so people wouldn't know/suspect it. It's all so fucking stupid.

Paris is one of my favorite towns.

Ed rightfully points out how hypocritical the right is when they put on blast any Dem who shows any appreciation for a culture other than USA #1

BTW - I noticed that his pronunciation of various French words he used in the segment was spot on. I think Ed might speak French himself!
