“HOT PIECE OF ASSASSIN” of the day

Jean Bastien-Thiry

Target: French president Charles de Gaulle (unsuccessful, but left 14 bullet holes in his car.)

Jury’s Verdict: Guilty. Sentenced to death in 1963 by firing squad (he refused to be blindfolded. God what a man.)

Our Verdict: “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?” is the only thing I can say in French. I feel like that would have been enough.
