Up next is Hamburg, traditionally SPD turf, but governed Ole von Beust (CDU) at the moment. Satire party DIE PARTEI has an interesting campaign poster: "CDU- voters, beware: Ole von Beust is gay!"
Both BILD and CDU fell into the trap (surprise, surprise) and called the technically factual statement a smear: "If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles." Sun Tzu
Another interesting rainbow press detour: the Lower Saxony CDU is in uproar over comments by Jüttner's wife, who thematised how Wulff has not yet divorced his first wife while he already made a child with the future second. A bit funny thing to say from an SPD woman in the state of serial divorcee Schröder, but The Moralising Party deserves it... *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
