Dans l’Incorruptible n°5, on peut lire sous la plume de Charles Soulier l’article suivant : « la chaîne de télévision TF1, associée au Figaro magazine, nous a présenté lundi 12 décembre 1988 une véritable bouffonnerie sur le thème « Rouvrons le procès de Louis XVI ». Ce devait être, d’après Yves Mourousi, maître d’œuvre de cette émission, un mélange de fiction, d’imagination et de faits historiques sur des textes écrits par Arthur Conte, un monsieur qui estime que « les grands hommes de la révolution ? Beaucoup étaient des ratés, Robespierre, avocat sans cause, comme Desmoulins, ou Collot d’Herbois, acteur sifflé. Pas très amateurs de femmes avec cela. Voyez Sieyès, voyez Robespierre, voyez Saint-Just : des impuissants. Saint-Just : un presque voyou, un médiocre dangereux ».
Nice to see we're still there 20 years later.
P.S. I thought the problem with Saint-Just was that he had a "debauched youth". Someone will have to make up their mind on their slander, someday. Also on this: it's good when Danton debauches himself with prostitutes when he's married (and was married twice, and is a father), but it's evil when Saint-Just does it when he's a young man. Unless of course all along they meant by "debauched" that he was gay.
