But, he can totally tell you where the library is, you guys. “Où est la bibliothèque?” Kerry is on it.
More Twitter users mock the highly mockable Kerry.

So far on Kerry's tour: in Berlin, says Americans have right to be stupid. In Paris, says if he speaks too much French won't be allowed home
— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) February 27, 2013
Yep, he said that. Oh, if only we had that option, Mr. Kerry!
Ace continues with the glorious drubbing.
If John Kerry "speaks French," we have a lot of graduates of the 8th grade who are similarly "French speakers." Many millions.

I see no problem with John Kerry conducting negotiations in French so long as the terms of the deal involve pens, dogs, houses, and friends

And we are loving the slinging of the slams of hilarity. Even if some of it is in fancy pants French. More, s’il vous plaît!
Update: The shredding continues. Paging Rick Klein!
.@rickklein what's your fluency levei in French, as you're claiming you can give Kerry a "not bad" rating in the language?
— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 27, 2013

— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 27, 2013
Yes. As Twitchy readers know, he did that. He also squeed over “Obama rising above – disdaining the process – and trying to make the choices bigger, not smaller.”
@AceofSpadesHQ Kerry’s speech was a living, breathing organism. The countries, languages, one. @rickklein

.@rickklein, what's your basis for rendering a presumably-expert opinion on his fluency?
— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 27, 2013
seriously do you speak French? @rickklein? At what level? Kerry's?
— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) February 27, 2013

He's going to speak in English because otherwise Americans would be annoyed… not because he only memorized those ten lines.
