Re: Reactions 4: the Schadenfreude (4.00 / 2)

Westerwelle was really funny: he listed all the prominent neolib deserters and invited them to his party: Clement/ex-SPD, Oswald Metzger/ex-Greens (mentioned in Martin's diary) and now sidelined-in-the-CDU, and Friedrich Merz/still-CDU (see diary on a talk show appearance).

Re: Reactions 4: the Schadenfreude (4.00 / 3)

lol - while secretly hoping that none of them take him up on it. Clement would blow Westerwelle away in a New York minute, and even Merz would give him a run for his money.

Westerwelle's continuing longevity in his party is an abiding mystery to me.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
