Apportez-le!

I had a brief fantasy that the more John Kerry tours Wisconsin, the more opportunity there is for him to make a fatal mispronunciation of one of our strangely-named cities, towns, and villages. Then I realized that many of them are French, and Monsieur le Senatoire would likely impress the locals around Lac Vieux Desert or Lac Court Oreilles.

Still, there's always a chance that the Senator might stop in Prairie Du Chien, which the locals do not pronounce the French way. ("What does he mean? 'Prairie du Sh'yeah'?")
