#1 they receive few invitations to speak on international TV channels

Arabic is all they need for al-Jizz.

#2 Heh. Lingua Anglicana.
Has been for more than half a century now.

No need to translate "Liberty, equality, ... [fraternity?] brotherhood -- It will be gone in a little over a century too, replaced by simpler Liberty and equality. Some brothers (comrades) are always more equal than others.

#7 If the French ministers can stand the heat, they should come over to Rantburg and learn English from us. We speak the best colloquial and idiomatic English on the blogosphere. We would be glad to help them. We promise not to be too mean and uncouth until they are up to speed.

CornÃ®liÃ«s---in less than a century, the only thing the French will have left is equality, only some will be more equal than others. Liberty will be oot the door.

#8 Progress is progress, but I'm surprised that Dominique de Villepin is more proficient in English (Queen's? American?) than Nicolas Sarkozy! Sarkozy's the good guy! ;_;
