So Newt is running an ad making fun of Mitt’s speaking French, eh? The Volgi carries no water for Willard Mittens Romney, of course, but Newter, please. Confucius happens to have a copy of Newt’s dissertation, Belgian Educational Policy in the Congo 1945–1960 (unpublished; Tulane, 1971) lying around here. As he tweeted to John Podhoretz when the latter brought up that Newt must had to pass a language-proficiency test, like, say, French, here’s a random sample of Newt’s bibliography (cliquez à embiggener):

L’hypocrisie est un hommage que le vice rend à la vertu, comme dit La Rochefoucauld, n’est-ce pas, M. le Newt?

Confucius, Œc. Vol.

Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu.
