hmm.. If your mouth is full of water (or saliva, eww), you are forced to talk out of your throat rather than your mouth, almost like gargling. I think this is why I end up being able to pronounce the R without clearing my throat.
Just image having a mouthful of water, tilt your head back, and then try to emulate the french R. You would end up with water all over yourself, but the sound would be right (well, almost anyway).
Of course it's not a perfect sound, and I would probably sound like an idiot to you if I recorded it :P
