Iain Duncan Smith, who was briefly leader of the Conservatives until he was defenestrated by his colleagues last year for not being up to the job, is Catholic, though he sends his sons to Eton rather than to a Catholic school. They did make a detour through the Rue de Bethisy to be shown the elderly Coligny's stabbed, defenestrated, and desecrated corpse before crossing the Seine by the Pont aux Meuniers and the Pont St. He then defenestrated the previous chief speechwriter, Tony Snow. |
