I just started singing to myself this silly song that I must have learned while I was studying French in high school — (sorry for the spelling, lack of accents where they belong, etc)
C’etait un roi Merovingian
Q’allait souvent a la chasse
Chassait avec beaucoup de grace,
Tuait surtout ses copains …
… and it occurred to me that there’s a precedent for Cheney’s hunting accident.
Was that song widely mentioned in the Francophone blogosphere a couple of months ago? Anybody know? Inquiring minds… Or of course I could ask Google. Think I will.
