Ted Kennedy loved "everything French"
Ted Kennedy Jr. recalled how his father loved "everything French -- cheese wine, and women," and when the laugher quieted he told a story that made eyes fill with tears.

RIP Senator, the French love you too...

9. c'est pas grave
I think it's on CNN domestique, but America has never understood its place in the world, so it wouldn't be surprising if our networks were leading with "the American Fritzl story" as our prime cultural export.

12. I loved that bit. It also had a bit of a smack down for the Republicans. And did you notice when 
his son said he called every 9/11 victim's family from
Massachusetts immediately after 9/11?  the camera panned to
Bush, wonder what he was thinking. I doubt he called people. 
Who knows.
