France’s answer to Anthony Weiner. France’s new Socialist Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault’s last name, pronounced properly in French, sounds like an Arabic slang word for penis. Yeah, but at least his first name isn’t Richard.

My 6th grade history teacher's name was Richard Head. I swears its true. And o course in 6th grade thats gotta be about the funniest thing in the world (still pretty funny). We all did lousy in that class because we spent half the class whispering jokes back and forth about his name.
Kind of like the one of the Cubs coaches in the 90s--Dick Pole.
I remember him when he pitched for the Red Sox. He once took a line drive in the face. He was never the same pitcher after that.
That's really reaching. His French name sounds like Arabic slang?
It may have slipped your attention but millions of people in France these days speak Arabic as their first language and many more French-speakers use Arabic slang.
WTF, does it think we're making this stuff up?
