Chirac snub to Bush
ohh! there go them frogs again! quick, get out my rifle!


"He also snubbed President Bush by speaking French at a dinner, despite having fluent English."

wow, can you believe it? what a bash to the face. shame on chirac for knowing english and not speaking it!
i mean, why should bush ( a leading example~!!!!!) speak any other language aside from english, oh sorry,i mean AMERICAN. the freedom language if you will....yikes.

1. Yes, but...
saying that Bush speaks English is being very generous.

2. Weren't they in, um. . . France?
Besides, speaking English in front of Bush is also mean. He can't understand that, either.

3. We don't know the circumstances...but it would be nice to have a list
of all the ' no messages' given to the 'front man', with some context.

And they cheered Clinton and Kennedy.

This is not a Dem-Repub thing, this is a world peace and survival thing.

6. Why would he speak English?
They were in France right? Maybe Bush should learn a few other languages if he wants to be taken seriously as a diplomat. First he should master those advanced concepts in our own language like grammar and pronunciation.
