Kerry declares 'Je suis Bruxellois' after attacks
2016-03-27
[BUSINESS-STANDARD] US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
 today declared "Je suis Bruxellois" - "I am a citizen of Brussels" - in support for the people of the Belgian capital, echoing their backing for the United States after the 9/11 terror attacks.

"Then, voices across Europe declared, 'Je suis Americain.' Now, we declare, 'Je suis Bruxellois' and 'Ik ben Brussel,' Kerry said in French and Phlegmish, the country's two main languages, after meeting Belgian Premier Charles Michel.

Triple kabooms in Brussels on Tuesday left 31 people dead and 300 injured.

#5  Kerry has always been entranced with his perception of the Kennedy era and his desire to emulate JFK in manner style and image. Sadly, he brings a patina of clownish lurch like clumsiness that makes him a buffoon. The worst part is he thinks he brings it off....

#4  Walloons say his accent is atrocious, Flemish say ?

People with a bad ear for pronunciation in one language gemerally have a bad ear in all. My father's English sounded like he just got off the boat from Latvia four decades after he learnt the language. So did six of his other languages (Latvian being the seventh).
