Kerry speaks French, but does anyone know what he said?
By Chris Suellentrop, Slate
J'ai édité ceci pour le rendre plus court.

Let's see: Your opponent is characterizing you as an effete internationalist willing to "turn America's national security decisions over to international bodies or leaders of other countries." In particular, he suggests, in all seriousness, that you want to call up Jacques Chirac for permission before deploying the military. At the Republican National Convention, you were portrayed as a beret-wearing poodle named "Fifi Kerry." How should you defend yourself against these slanders?

Ce n'est pas une 'calomnie,' il est une critique.

By speaking French on the stump, of course. . . .

Well, they don't call him a "haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat" for nothing, I guess!
