" And then there's the issue of where Mr. Kerry learned his French, in a Swiss boarding school and at his family's summer vacation home in Brittany."

The media is too lazy to report that Kerry's mother Rosy, while technically an American citizen- was born in Paris and lived most of her life in France.
Rosy emigrated to the US in 1940, where she married Richard Kerry, an Air Corps pilot she first met when he visited her village in France.
Rosy wrote to her fiancee that America was a country " that she was afraid of coming to."
She remained in the US until 1954, when she and Richard moved back to Europe.
Kerry's mother, aunts, cousins, etc- spoke English with a French accent.
Kerry's paternal grandparents-Ida and Frederick " Kerry " ( nee Kohn ) emigrated to the US from their native Austria in their early 30s. They spoke English like Wolfgang Puck and Arnold.
Kerry's mother and her whole family spoke English with a French accent and his paternal grandparents spoke English with an Austrian accent-but, somehow Kerry thought he was Irish.
Go figure.
