In May, 2002, George W. Bush visited France to meet with French President Jacques Chirac. At a press conference, David Gregory asked of Bush, "You said in reaction to demonstrations against you and your administration during this trip in Europe that it's simply a healthy democracy exercising its will, and that disputes are positive. But I wonder why it is you think there are strong - such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration? Why, particularly, there's a view that you and your administration are trying to impose America's will on the rest of the world, particularly when it comes to the Middle East and where the war on terrorism goes next?" Then, he turned to Chirac, whom he addressed as "Monsieur le President Chirac," and asked
in French - "Would you maybe comment on that?" Bush was not amused by
this display of fluency. "Very good," Bush said. "The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental." Gregory was surprised, possibly defensive, and definitely ready to turn the tables when he replied, "I can go on." Bush snarked in return, "I'm impressed
que bueno. Now I'm literate in two languages." Viewers of the
televised segment were divided: some thought that Gregory had legitimately embarrassed Bush, while Bush's supporters that that Bush's sarcastic wit had made self-mockery of both of them.
