| I just remember one distinct thing about him - in conversations with other people, he'd correct other people's French. Overall rememberance of him - arrogant, condescending and snobbish. In other words, a typical Parisian Frenchman. "Chirac est un ver" [Yahoo News] - Former French President Jacques Chirac, a major force in French politics who opposed the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, died in Paris on Thursday at the age of 86. A seasoned politician, Chirac’s career included two presidential terms, two stints as prime minister and nearly two decades as mayor of Paris. Charming, statuesque and a consummate political animal, Chirac was a presence on the French political arena for more than four decades. But he is best known internationally for his final term at the Élysée presidential palace, a five-year period that proved extraordinary from start to finish. Not for the faint of heart - serious ball washing ensues from there... |
