he got in France by a bullshit deferment....while protesting
anti war students the year before ..... yeah that's an issue.

I don't give a fuck about his bicycle accident outside of his french fucking mansion while my friends died in Nam. He even protested FOR THE FUCKING WAR.

Anyway, I got it on Comedy Central and thought it was amusing, not everything is self important posting as some egos need them to be.
