    I'm not sure why post an interview in French with no translation on an English language blog. The only thing I got for sure from the interviewee was ´´un blog du gauche´´.

    Homer: Rugged? Is that the same as handsome?
    Diner Chef: No senor. Handsome means he look at himself in a mirror all day. Rugged means you look at him.

    even my pig latin sucks...

    I was born in the US, and failed English (not suprizing to my Husbear, who is from England) so...

    it LOOKS like John speaks French very well, to me anyway :-)

    Rick, because some people do speak French. And if you don't, we have more than enough other posts to keep you happy :-)

    we subscribe to Marianne and get their email news updates...I can't wait to see this on their website!
    Marianne is a center/left oriented publication that went way over to becoming the best anti Sarkozy magazine out today. They officially supported Bayrou, but then went to Segolene.....any way, I'll look for it!
    a bienttot....

    Actually, French Greeks and Italians are all pretty pro obama now. I think they swing with the news, I ahd the impression thehy were hillary supporters last year

    Rick, there's also the fact that you could use freetranslation.com to get a translation of the article in Italian.

    Ostriche!! Che bravo! Che bell'accento francese, John! Parlo Italiano ma capisco abastanza francese di apprezzare bene le bella figura che hai fatto.

    Good job on the French! Nice reading about you in Italian. I studied there many years ago.

    Dude, I'm bilingual (Quebec-US), and that was great - and also a very substantive interview. Keep representing!

    Very cool, John I'm impressed...
    And your resume says you speak 5 languages...WOW!

    Your accent is better than passable and your syntax is very good. Too bad more Americans aren't so capable.
