History’s Greatest Minor Sinners
June 30th, 2009
- Enver Hoxha – General Secretary of the Albanian Communist Party. Often left before paying restaurant bills.
- James Polk – U.S. President. Bad kisser.
- Louis XV – Unthroned child king of France. Refused to share model of the Papal Palace with other children.
- Benazhir Bhutto – Indian President. Jaywalker.
- Charlemagne – Innaugural Holy Roman Emperor. Spanked his daughter.
- Henry VII – King of England. Peed in the bathtub.
- Konrad Adanuer – President of the Federal Republic of Germany. At dinner parties, sometimes pretended to be more interested in people’s stories than he actually was.
- Leon Blum – Prime Minister of France. Would deliberately drive through puddles, wetting nearby pedestrians.
- Joseph Stalin – Soviet General Secretary. Loved too much.
I came across your posts recently. A small correction: Benazhir Bhutto was a Pakistani President (not Indian)
She was also Prime Minister of India under her pen name, Indira Ghandi.
