So what’s this about not flaunting your language skills?

1. From today’s Herald:

2. “Asked if he was impressed by Mr Rudd’s language skills, Mr Downer, a French speaker, said he was not one to flaunt his talent with foreign tongues.”

3. Oh, nice comeback. But then…:

4. “I did the French language course and Mr Rudd did the Chinese language course. I did mine in two months and he did his in two years, that could say something about him and me or something about the two languages. I think the former but that sounds a tad partisan.”

5. Well, it might be “a bit partisan”, but it didn’t stop you from saying it now, did it?
