Nostalgie Pour la Boue By Gerard Van der Leun at American Digest: Listening to John Kerry whip out his plodding French to pander to the sad Haitian vote yesterday [Thu. Oct. 21] put me in a nostalgic frame of mind. I lived in France for a number of years. I have a lot of French friends. My daughter was conceived in France. I lived in Aix, Paris, and along the Western Front. Unlike others, not all my thoughts of France are negative. But when I consider what the Democratic Party's perverted primary process disgorged as their offering in this year's election, and when I listen to half of it spout execrable French and the other half denigrate mothers and librarians after a career of hunting billionaires to extinction, it brings out the French in me. When I hear Kerry-Heinz speak, I think "Ah, nostalgie pour la boue." They say that their campaign is about the future. It's not. It is about the past; about nostalgie pour la boue....
