Some Frenchmen, and Sen. Joe Biden, think it’s racist for Republicans to lampoon Kerry’s French connections (he speaks fluent French, has French relatives, has a yacht named after a Frenchman, spent a good deal of time in France as a child, and, most importantly, has foreign policy positions virtually indistinguishable from those held by the French government).

Says Biden of GOP fun-poking: “These guys are doing the same thing they do to black candidates. They’re appealing to people’s prejudices.”

Yeah, whatever, but this picture of French mayor (and John Kerry cousin) Brice Lalonde still says it all. If America’s enemies were driving around with “W” stickers on their funny little automobiles, does anyone believe the Democrats wouldn’t gleefully distribute the pictures?
