Here's another reason to vote for George Bush. He speaks French. George Bush opposed a tough trade law that would have saved thousands of textile jobs. And when the Associated Press asked about his disagreement with South Carolinians on textiles, Bush replied, c'est la vie. That's French. It means, that's life. Maybe that's why Senator Thurman said, in English, I think Bob Dole possesses all of the good qualities that we need in a president.
