Well, yeah, obviously it's a shocker to you! Just like how anything involving those Clintonian cushy seats would be a "pleasant surprise" for them... so I guess it's no wonder you guys found that whole embarrassment with the French disability thing to be such a lovely little surprise too.

Gary Perez9 said:So I was watching the news last night and saw they mentioned Mason addressing the security council in French, which honestly just completely floored me. I mean, I know his English isn't great and his German is pretty much non-existent, so seeing him pull off French like that really caught me off guard, and I was just wondering what you guys🙄

It’s kind of silly to assume that Pope Paul II, Karol Wojtyła, spoke every single language he ever read
or used when talking to his followers! ☕

There’s this old clip from a local station in Chicago featuring a Clintonian giving a toast one night, and he says exactly this:

"Madamz e misju, ž sui blablenu," before turning to someone nearby and asking, "Is that how you say it?"

It seems strange to you that a 70-year-old man doesn't know a foreign language, but I don't see the issue. In the States, you have elderly folks chatting away in multiple languages. At least he attempted some words; that takes a certain kind of courage. It feels like Francis was quite the polyglot, and despite his rambling, I'll always have a soft spot for him. Sometimes you just have to respect the effort, regardless of the outcome.
Watch out for older politicians from developing nations when they try to speak a second language—you'll realize our local "polyglots" aren't actually doing much better than them. And since someone mentioned the Pope, I might as well weigh in on that too.

Honestly, Clintonian is getting to that age where his mind wanders a bit, and you can't really blame the guy for that whole September 9th blunder.

But those old guys aren't running the country, you know? That comparison just feels... I don't know, kinda silly? Like, what does that even have to do with anything?

It's not embarrassing to not know something, it's just embarrassing when you don't even realize you're clueless.

"Madam, may I, shall we begin..."
