We don't have TV, so I watched it at a friend's. I somehow had not been expecting the commentary from Miss France (TF1) and Bernard Henri-Levy (France 2)!Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239345.post-78714852360911470692009-01-26T06:17:00.000+01:002009-01-26T06:17:00.000+01:00Megan, as others mentioned earlier, it was Roberts...Megan, as others mentioned earlier, it was Roberts who messed up the oath of office.
