Funny how as soon as you die, all your sins are forgotten and you a revered as some kind of political saint.

Chirac was a crook. I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm surely glad he left.

Not really, as far as I've heard/read, at least in French media, they were very quick to point this out.

He was indeed a crook, but seemed like a nice, personable crooks, rather than the cynical ones we get nowadays.

He brought Nicolas Sarkozy to light, who was indeed part of a new generation of cynics.

funny how everything you do in your life time can be forgotten and and you are labeled a crooked for the smallest amount of corruption
